logarithmic regression

L

lcoddens

Having 2 columns of data x and y, i can fit a *logarithmic *trend to
them after creating a scatterplot. Adding the trendline gives an
R-Squared value. How do I calculate -this- RS myself, without going
through the chart-thing?
Thx!

Hi,

If you want a formula that returns just the R-squared value, the formula is
=RSQ(y-range,LN(x-range))

If you want the trendline coefficients and the regression statistics
(including the R-squared value) calculated, use the LINEST function (see the
response of Jerry W. Lewis for your post)
