Trying to calculate a moving average on column. Is this done through analysis or through fit functions? Very new to plotly any advice would be appreciated. I can find several examples of moving averages, but cannot figure out how they did it.

Thanks!

Moving average is not one of the functions currently offered in Plotly’s online spreadsheet - sorry! If you know Python, try this:  
[https://plot.ly/pandas/moving-average/](https://plot.ly/pandas/moving-average/)  
Check back on the online spreadsheet in a few months - We’re adding more calculation functions.
