Hi Nick,
For the use case mentioned above, you can just go to the corresponding report on the Adobe Analytic interface and select the metric that needs to be trended and then choose the Report type as " Trended". Example , Visits to a particular page name over time , you need to follow the following steps-
1. Go to the Pages Report Site Content---> Pages reports.
2. Select the Metric as "Visits".
3. Choose the Report type as "Trended"
4. Choose a particular page using Selected Items in the upper right corner of the report and then select a particular page say "Home Page".
Please let us know if you have any questions. Also, refer the attached snapshot for more details.
Thanks & Regards
