Thumbs up Answer: Intersection of two lines

Yes, there is a way to get the exact intersection point of two lines in Excel. Here are the steps:
  1. First, make sure that you have the equations for the two lines that you want to find the intersection of. You can do this by adding the trendline equation to the chart. To do this, right-click on the data series and select "Add Trendline". In the "Trendline Options" menu, check the box next to "Display Equation on chart". This will add the equation to the chart.
  2. Next, you need to find the intersection point of the two lines. To do this, you can use the
    Formula:
    Solver 
    add-in in Excel. If you don't have the Solver add-in installed, you can install it by going to "File" "Options" "Add-Ins" "Excel Add-ins" "Solver Add-in" "OK".
  3. Once you have the Solver add-in installed, select the two cells where you want to display the intersection point. Then, go to "Data" "Solver". In the "Solver Parameters" dialog box, set the "Set Objective" to "Value of" and enter "0" in the box next to it. Then, set the "By Changing Variable Cells" to the two cells you selected earlier. Finally, set the "Subject to the Constraints" to the equations of the two lines. To do this, click on the "Add" button and enter the first equation in the "Cell Reference" box and the second equation in the "Constraint" box. Click "OK" to close the "Add Constraint" dialog box.
  4. Click "Solve" to find the intersection point. Excel will adjust the values in the two cells you selected until the two equations are equal, which will give you the intersection point.

That's it! You should now have the exact intersection point of the two lines.
