Peter,

I tried using that method. I entered the following statements in the
subprogram:

Dim ArrNewY(2 To 12) As Single
ArrNewY = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trend(E2:E12,A2:D12)

After entering the second statement, I got the following compile error:

Expected: list separator or )

with the colon between the E2 and E12 highlighted.

The same input to the TREND function worked perfectly fine when I used the
TREND function directly on the worksheet.

arrNewY = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trend(knownY, knownX, newXs, const)

knownY, knownX and newXs can refer to cells or arrays made in VBA

arrNewY is an array, even if newXs is a single value, with lower-bound of 1
and qty of elements same as newXs

The TREND function has the syntax
TREND(known_y's,known_x's,new_x's,const).
In order to output the array of estimated y values on a spreadsheet, the
Excel Help entry specifies that a range must be selected beginning with
the
cell in which the TREND function is entered and extending downward so that
the number of cells in the range is equal to the number of estimated y
values. The user is then instructed to press F2, and then press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, causing the estimated y values to populate the selected
range. That method works fine for outputting the estimated y values on a
spreadsheet, but how do I output the estimated y values as an array within
a
VBA subprogram?
