LINEST
This function calculates the statistics for a line.
Syntax
LINEST(y, x, constant, stats)
Arguments
The equation for the line is y=mx+b or y=m1x1+m2x2+...+b.
This function has these arguments:
Argument | Description |
|---|---|
y | Set of y values that are known in the relationship y=mx+b |
x | (Optional) X is an optional set of x values that may be known in the relationship y=mx+b |
constant | Logical value that specifies whether to force the constant b to equal 0. If true or omitted then b is calculated normally; if false then b is equal to 0 and the m values are adjusted so that y=mx. |
stats | Logical value that specifies whether to return additional regression statistics. If true, then the additional regression statistics are returned if false or omitted then only the m-coefficients and b are returned. |
If x is omitted then x defaults to the array {1,2,3...}, that has the same dimensions as y.
Remarks
Use the INDEX function to get individual elements from the returned array.
Data Types
Accepts an array. Returns an array.
Examples
LINEST(A2:A7,C2:C7,,FALSE)
