Default weighted trendline

Hi,

I don't believe that can be done with anything built into the trendline
chart feature, but you can use the trendline formula in the spreadsheet and
then apply your weighting to it. Then plot that rather than the built-in
trendline. You can get the formula of the trendline from the chart by
choosing to display it or in the spreadsheet by using the LINEST function or
the related SLOPE and INTERCEPT functions.

Can anyone tell me if it possible to weight a linear trendline in excel?
Like a calibration line where you can weight by 1/x where x is the variance
at each point on the line.
