Not only is LINEST a misleading name but the documentation is also
equally misleading. For more on how to get the coeffients for various

Does anyone know if there are functions available in or for Excel that return
the coefficents of logarithmic and polynomial trendlines, analogous to
Slope(...) and Intercept(...) for linear trendlines?
