Default Trendline with standard deviation

And, if you would prefer to use the "standard error of estimate,"
approximately equal to the standard deviation of the residuals, use the
STEYX worksheet function instead of STDEV.

Hi Rf,


Say your x data is in A1:A10 and your y data in B1:B10


Put this in C1
=TREND(B1:B10,A1:A10,A1)+STDEV(B1:B10)
(note the A1 is for the *first* point in your series)


and this in C2
=TREND(B1:B10,A1:A10,A10)+STDEV(B1:B10)
(note the A10 is for the *last* point in your series)


Now go to source data and add a series with
X-Values =(Sheet1!$A$1,Sheet1!$A$10)
Y-Values =Sheet1!$C$1:$C$2


You can then set the series to show a line but no marker
or add atrendlineif you wish.
