Default Extracting Trendline Coefficients

I am trying to use Tushar Mehta's version of the trendline coefficient
extraction code, which I found he
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/publish_...nalysis/16.htm
My problem is that for some reason if I save the file and reopen it,
Excel locks up and the TLcoef and TLeval formulas return "Err: No
trendline found"

What is wrong? Should I be changing something in the code?

FYI - i'm using Excel 2002.

Default Extracting Trendline Coefficients

Why not use one of his LINEST formulas to get the coefficients?

Default Extracting Trendline Coefficients

The LINEST formulas in Excel 2002 and previous aren't as good as the
chart trendline for complex data. This is why I need to extract the
trendline data.

Agreed, there are cases when LINEST gives incorrect results.
I would be interested in seeing such a data set.

I presume that you want to see if the OP has a new example; that would
interest me as well.

Previously posted examples include

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...9a2bb33e6cdbb8
a 6th degree polynomial fit that gets no correct figures in versions prior
to 2003, but does better in 2003 on.

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8ea066b144d042
a 6th degree polynomial fit that gets no correct figures in any version of
Excel

http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...0a% 40phx.gbl
an orthogonal trigonometric regression that worked prior to 2003, but gives
erroneous zeros in 2003.
