jlcannon,
Trendline is not moving average. You can use moving average to create a Trendline, which the 2 or 3 you are mentioning is basically how many point to use as average scope when creating the Trendline.
Depends on your definition of moving average, you have to do it on the spreadsheet instead of the chart, then plot the moving average as one of the series.
