Default Need help with using LINEST()

Hi,

I would like to use the LINEST() function on two columns of data (Y,X for
example) in a worksheet in Excel- but I only want to include certain values.
I've used a function to return the X and Y values for the entries that
satisfy certain criteria, and #N/A for those that don't (e.g. there are some
rows that are full and rows that both have #N/A). Is there any way of only
including the elements that are numbers (as opposed to na) in the regression?

Alternatively, I've sorted the array so that the valued elements are at the
top and the #N/A elements are at the bottom. In theory I could then apply the
regression to the first n rows of the array only(where n = no. of rows of
numbers). Is there VBA code that I could write to do this? I'm struggling
with the element indexing system.

Thanks,

Sam
