Default Profit Margin Trend

Hi, just to add to Toppers advice, if you have the analysis tool pack
add-in installed then you can use some of the tools included with it.
Look in the tools menu for 'Data Analysis'. It has exponential
smoothing and some other useful forecasting tools. If this forecasting
is vital, that is worth some investment of time, you may want to look
into something like double exponential smoothing. See the links below:

Single Exponential Smoothing:
