Please file a sample file showing your problem at bugzilla.gnome.org as a bug against Gnumeric. Which version of Gnuemric are you using? For a polynomial regression line at the bottom of the tab with low and high bound there should be an 'order' item. For logarithmic curves there is of course no 'order' item but you will not get a logarithmic trend line if one of the x-values is negative. Since under those circumstances, the logarithmic trend model cannot apply. Andreas > > I think this will go out as plain text.
