Can I generate a mX+c Trendline Formula without a graph
Can anyone give me a bit of advise on whether it is possible to return a
formula similar to the one that is available in the graph trendline tool. I would like to be able to quickly produce a y=mx+c formula from two columns of data (e.g. pressure transducer calibration results [V/Bar]) that I can enter into a data logger. I have had partial success with =SLOPE(A9:A16,B9:B16) and =TREND(A9:A16,B9:B16,0) but I was wondering if there is a simpler way. |

SLOPE and INTERCEPT will give m and c
LINEST will give m and c and r² and many more statistics See http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme/ExcelTips.htm for notes on things like confidence interval for slope. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "mcampbe5" wrote in message ...
