Default How do I fit a line on an excel plot to a portion of the data?

Hi,

Trend lines are based on all the data points in a series.
To get a trend line on a subset of data you will need to add a new series
based on only that subset.

Cheers
Andy

the
data and ignore all other points, how do i do this?
