I would like to put the end logarithmic trendline value on my chart and am
struggling with the linest function my data set looks like this

01jan09 20
02jan09 60
03jan09 113
04jan09 125
05jan09 127
06jan09 129

and so on

I have applied a logarithmic trendine and as i said would like to display
the end value, my charts equation is y=43.972Ln(x + 41.641, im a little new
to this so if anybody can help i would appreciate it

Hi,

Try

=INDEX(LINEST(B1:B6,LN(A1:A6)),1,1)

and

=INDEX(LINEST(B1:B6,LN(A1:A6)),1,2)

for the coefficients.

Hi Bernard

trendline at the end of the campaign at say week 6

Kind Regards
