------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 6 01:03:17 +0000 2007 ------- Per your help file, this is what LINEST looks like: x1 x2 y LINEST value (blank cell) (blank cell) 4 7 100 4,17 -3,48 82,33 5 9 105 5,46 10,96 9,35 6 11 104 0,87 5,06 #NA 7 12 108 13,21 4 #NA 8 15 111 675,45 102,26 #NA 9 17 120 10 19 133 Per reality, using the same settings as in the Help file produces: x1 x2 y -27.96 66.81 0 4 7 100 #N/A #N/A #N/A 5 9 105 #N/A #N/A #N/A 6 11 104 #N/A #N/A #N/A 7 12 108 #N/A #N/A #N/A 8 15 111 #N/A #N/A #N/A 9 17 120 10 19 133 I am interested in this because I have three datasets I have brought over from Quattro Pro and I trying to reproduce Quattro Pro's ability to do regressions. Since I only have one X column, I am getting not only dubious slope values but also #N/A for the Y-intercept. I realize that you are satisfied to do no better than Microsoft's spreadsheet, but, really, should you not consider doing better than Microsoft? Notes: I tried FORECAST, but it does not produce the right results either; perhaps it, also, is under the misapprehension that all lines must go through the origin.) No combination of, for example, "4" and "7" and -27.96 and 66.81 can possibly produce a result of 100 if the y-intercept is 0,0. I know of no reason that either at least two or exactly two data series are needed, together with one control series, to produce the results of a regression. This should work with one column, or the Help should clearly identify the one-column version. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
