Default using polynomial trendline equations

I am using trendline feature in charting to develop a third order polynomial
equation. The fit is good and I want to use the displayed equation to
calculate nondata point values.
I cannot get the equation to generate points within the original data set.
Is there a conversion factor I need to use or is there a way to output the
trendline equation differently? The trendline coefficients don't seem to
correspond to the data set even though the graph and r-value look good.
