Default PROBLEMS WITH DISPLAY EQUATIONS ON CHART

In Excel I have added a polynomial trendline to a graph and clicked 'display
equation on chart'. The equation does not represent what the trendline
displays. The trendline line goes through all my 6 data points, but the when
i use the equation it is wrong. Any idea's please.

I expect you have a limited number of decimals showing in the chart.
You can format the equation to display more.
Better yet use LINEST - see my website to use LINEST to get polynomial fit
