If const is FALSE, b is set equal to 0 (zero), and the m-values are adjusted so that y = mx. If const is TRUE or omitted, b is calculated normally. If known_x's is omitted, it is assumed to be the array that is the same size as known_y's.Ī logical value specifying whether to force the constant b to equal 0 If more than one variable is used, known_y's must be a vector (that is, a range with a height of one row or a width of one column). If only one variable is used, known_y's and known_x's can be ranges of any shape, as long as they have equal dimensions. The array known_x's can include one or more sets of variables. If the array known_y's is in a single row, then each row of known_x's is interpreted as a separate variable.Īn optional set of x-values that you may already know in the relationship y = mx + b If the array known_y's is in a single column, then each column of known_x's is interpreted as a separate variable.
Then I would copy the coefficients into cells for example, -0.082 into X.2 into Y1. I like the Scientific format with 14 decimal places because that displays all values with the most precision that Excel formats, regardless of their magnitude. The set of y-values you already know in the relationship y = mx + b Format the trendline label so that the coefficients have more precision. The TREND function syntax has the following arguments:
