Re: polynomial regression using LINEST (2nd order and higher)

["Nicolas ROUSSELON" <nico rousselon gmail com>]

Hello,

It works well, if the inputs are in the columns, the result is in a row. Does not seem to work if the input is in rows (does not matter to me). A good way to get the results is: =index(linest(Ys,Xss),1,1)  and then 1,2)  1,3) for a 2nd order. 

Thanks,

Nicolas

At the moment, the only way to do that is to add ranges (columns?) with
the x^2 and x^3 values and pass all these data to linest (you need to
pass all the x, x^2 and x^3 values as one block, and linest will return
a four column matrix).
