Hi,
All I've ever wanted since openoffice saw the light of day is a simple
click and pick to get the equation of the regression line in a chart. Now
everytime I need that I have to use my gf's Excel *shiver*. M$ has had
this implemnted for a decade so it feels somewhat retarded that OO is YET
to implement this. I mean you must have had a million requests simular to
mine by now. So why do you so stubbornly refuse to do it? Do you guys WANT
people to have to use Excel?
Thanks for you efforts in the other parts,

Actually nobody should be using spreadsheets to make statistical inferences.
For the most part the problems are now harmless, but that wasn't always so
... and might not be true in your case.
If you want to do statistical analyses (and linear regressions are a minor
tool with very specific assumptions) then you should use a statistics
system ...
On the FOSS counter there is something called R which is very good, but has
a learning curve,
