I need to run a logit regression in Excel but can't afford statistical
packages. I have managed to program (with a lot of help) a standard linear
regression macro but am not sure how to convert it for a logit regression.

Does 1) anyone have any coding for a logit regression? 2)know how to
manipulate underlying data so that it can be used in a standard linear
regression model 3) Know how to change linear coding to work for logit
regressions?

Here is the linear coding if anyone wants to have a crack.

Thanks
