Hi Andrew,

Let's suppose that the x- and y- ranges are in A2:A53 and B2:B53 respectively.
Select a 7 column x 1 row area, enter the following formula, and confirm
with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

=LINEST(B2:B53,A2:A53^{0,1,2,3,4,5,6},0,)

The formula will return the 7 coefficients, starting from the zeroth order
and ending with the 6th order.

If you want to have the coefficients shown starting from the 6th order and
ending in the zeroth order, modify the formula as,

=LINEST(B2:B53,A2:A53^{6,5,4,3,2,1,0},0,)

How would this work for a Polynominal degree 6? X-range covers 52 points.

Hi Ken,

Supposing your x-range is in A2:A10, and y-range in B2:B10,

select a 3-column x 1-row area and enter the following formula and confirm
with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

=LINEST(B2:B10,A2:A10^{0,1,2},0,)

I want to put the constants of a 2 degree polynomial trend line into Excel
Cells. Are there formula's to do this? Equation is Y = Ax(2) + Bx + C. I want
the value of A,B and C in seperate cells. Can anyone suggest how this can be
done? Thanks
