Re: No regression line formulas in Office.org calc

Thanks for the tips. I can't generally use the linest function as most of the data I work with are not linear, but rather log or exponential functions. I checked out the R project site and it looks interesting, though a bit esoteric for my needs and mathematical ability. Anyway I'll download their program to see if I can figure it out.

Not sure -- maybe this helps:

?

But for other software, sounds like maybe R might be useful to you?
