Calculate Best Fit Equation Of Curve
I am trying to calculate the equation of a curve which best fits some data. On the x-axis is date and y-axis the readings. The curve is quadratic, so on the chart I am fitting a 2nd order polyomial and displaying the equation. To prove that the equation the trendline gives me is reasonable, I am applying the equation on the x parameter to get the y parameter estimate and looking to see the error between predicted and actual - see attached.
The equation and the output from it are clearly rubbish, even though on the graph the trendline is a reasonable fit - see attached. Has anyone any ideas why? I think it has something to do with using a date on the x-axis but no idea why. Is there a way to correct for this? I also tried using the following I to calculate the coefficients which came up with a reasonable forecast (although linest should only be used for linear data): =LINEST(C3:C15,B3:B15^{1,2,3})

How Do I Calculate A Polynomial Curve Fit
For Excel 2007 - I am looking for a function [or method] to calculate a polynomial curve fit. I can do it on a graph with the existing graph and chart tools, but I need to calculate it myself. Does such software exist somewhere in my Excel 2007 package, or can anyone recommend a freeware program? I am hesitant to download an unknown, un-recommended add-in.

Calculate A Multi-variable Equation Based Off Of Data In A Table With Different Criteria
I'm trying to calculate a multi-variable equation based off of data in a table with different criteria. If you reference the attached spreadsheet I am trying to calculate cost based on weight and zone. For the data entered in cells B1 and B2 944.01 would be the cost. If you look at the table in G2:N3 you'll notice that the values in G2 and G3 are the weight limits G2 is from 0-4999 and G3 is 5000+, this should impact where the value in B1 falls. B2 should select from H1 to N1.

Apply A Curve To A Column
I'd like to apply a curve to a column of student exam grades and have the curved grades displayed in the adjacent column. Here is how I'd like to curve: I like to make a linear function out of two coordinate pairs. First Pair (x1,y1) = (Highest Exam Grade, 99) = (H,99) Second Pair (x2,y2) = (Class Exam Average, Desired Exam Average) =(C,D) Slope = (99-D)/(H-C) = m Linear Function = Y-y = m(X-x) = Y-99=m(X-H) Each student grade would = "Y" i.e. Y=m(X-H)+99

Create Growth Curve
Does anyone know of a statistical formula that would create a normal growth curve? For example. Let's assume that I want to forcast growth from January through December. I know that in January I will have 100 units. In December, I will have 1,000 units. Is there a formula to predict the the units in Feb-Nov (using a normal growth curve)?

Formula To Distribute A Value Along A Bell Curve.
I'm trying to find a formula that would spread out a value amongst multiple cells along a bell curve. Say I have $x,xxx. I want to spread that amount out in a certain proportion, regardless of how many cells I'm spreading it throughout. Say I have a $10,000 project. I want to be able to spread it out like a bell curve in the cells I choose. For instance, if it was a five month project it would be distributed as January - $1,000 February - $2,500 March - $3,000 April - $2,500 May - $1,000 If I added another month it would change to January - $833.33 February - $1,666.66 March - $2,500.00 April - $2,500.00 May - $1,666.66 June - $833.33 I already thought of manually adding percentages to each cell, but the formula needs to be dynamic.

Using Another Cell's Value In Equation
Lets say I write an equation on my sheet such as: ='A1'!$H422*AH$138 but instead of hard coding the A1 sheet name, I want that to be a value that I can put in a different cell (lets say cell C1) on my same sheet in such a way that it will reference the value in my other cell (Cell C1) and put its value into that equation. So if I make the value in C1 = A99 then the equation becomes ='A99'!$H422*AH$138

ComboBox: Equation In A Column Of Cells
I want to do is a simple list, 2 items, call them "Thing_1" and "Thing_2". I have an equation in a column of cells. The equation is a simple If statement. If the user selects "Thing_1" then the first equation will run, and if "Thing_2" is selected then the second equation will be used. That's it. No more complex than that. My original questions about how to initialize a ComboBox are cross-posted here: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ml#post1996135

Compents Of Chart Trendline Equation
I'm in the middle of designing a sheet that (amongst many other things) takes the equation of a graph trendline, pastes it, and calculates the various values along it. I can do it by hand, but when I try to record a macro, it doesn't register that I've highlighted the equation and hit copy. Here's the code I'm working with: Sheets("Graphs").Select ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Trendlines(1).DataLabel.Select Selection.Copy ActiveWindow.Visible = False Windows("Copy of HRA Design calculator1.xls").Activate Sheets("Binder @ max. stability").Select Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.paste The problem is line 4 - it can't copy because the text isn't selected.

Set Up An Equation For An Unknown Variable In A Formula Equal To 0
how to set up an equation for an unknown variable in a formula equal to 0 (an Even-Money Probability Formula for Risk Arbitrage assessments). The formula is as follows, where I am attempting to solve for Pe: (Pe*EP)+(P2*EL)=0 Pe=even money probability (placed in column B1 in Excel) EP=expected profit if deal closes (placed in column B2 in Excel) P2=probability of deal breaking up (=1-Pe) (placed in column B3 in Excel) EL=expected loss if deal breaks up (placed in column B4 in Excel) B1*B2)+(B3*B4)=0 So, once again, I am attempting to solve for Pe, or column B1 B1=(-(1-B1)*B4)/B2 say, EP (or B2) =$2.00 and EL (or B4)=-$4.00 B1=(-(1-B1)*-4)/2 B1=2*(1-B1)

Specific Find Followed By Equation Applied And Outputted To A New Column
I have the data sheet, which is the result of another function. It produces 10 columns with numbers in each cell, there can be any number of rows, but the key is that the rows are outlined as follows. The first row has the first column number bolded, followed by the second row not bolded and then a space and a repeat of the bold cell, followed by the non bold cell. Each row fills up all ten columns. I have attached an example of the sheet. What I would like to do is create a function which says brings up a box that says "Input Row" and the user would input the bolded number of a row. From here the code would take that value entered and divide it by the inputted bolded number’s adjacent cell, to the right, aka B2 column. This value would then be multiplied by every other bolded rows second cell, B2 column, essentially giving rise to a normalization of that column. The output would then be displayed in a new column, column 11 in italics. Each row would now have its italics value corresponding to the bolded number’s row and not the other rows.

Scatter Plot With Line Best Fit
I got the following table and it generates a random number either 1 or 0 (win or loss) trade win/loss Account value 0 10,000 rand() 1 0 9,800 rand() 2 1 11,000 rand() 3 1 12,000 rand() 4 0 11,500 Each time I press F9, the Account value changes because the win/loss is generated randomly. Assuming, I press F9 100 times, how do I create a scatter plot chart with a best line fit for all the account values. I know how to create the scatter plot but how do I save all the values everytime I press F9.

Automatically Fit TextBox To Text
I have a textbox showing 7 lines of words. When it is shown in my computer, everything looks fine. When I use another computer, the lines in the textbox could be shown completely since the height of the textbox is not enough to show the whole text. I guess it is because the resolution of the screen is different. How can I let the text be shown completely in a textbox even on different computers?

Print To Fit Shrinks Too Small

For the 64 who can print it by selecting the fit to print on one page the percent is 71. For the one person with problems the percent goes down to 10. Even when she opens the read only version on the network it becomes 10%. I checked the magins and everything else I can think of. Short of reinstalling Excel (2000 with Windows 2000)

Zoom Worksheets To Fit Used Range
to apply a zoom to Fit Selection on all worksheets upon file opening? I've read many posts on this and understand how to apply this via worksheet activation, but haven't discovered how to make this to happen to all worksheets when the file is opened. Zooming the selection needs to happen in the workbook module due to additional sheets being added at random and because it will facilitate the flow of the meeting so that we don't have to wait for the user to select and zoom. Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim ws As Worksheet For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets LCol = Cells.

Delete Rows That Fit Criteria
I have an excel 2007 file, which is quite big: ~10mb. There are situated plenty of columns with coordinates. I would like to transcribe it, modify those data, but it will take me ages. I'm not acquainted with macros, but I heard that people can do with them everything using computers' abilities. I'll abridge my whole problem. I give you a sample of that file, so please open it. In the file you can see two 'columns'. Every column has two other columns called x and y. As you are thinking now these two columns are containing arguments (in x column) and their values (in column y). Every third column is empty. In attached file you see, that arguments are repeating and values are increasing by one. Sometimes there is an argument without repeats, and sometimes there are only two repeating arguments. What I wanted to do is delete those repeating arguments leaving arguments with the highest and the lowest value. Example: Please look at range A230:B232. There are three repeating arguments and for this case I should delete row 231 from columns A&B and then move cells up to join separated columns. There are also not repeating arguments, which I need to double. If there will be only two repeating arguments I would like leave them. In the end I should have a clear view for all those coordinates.

Delete Multiple Columns If They Fit Different Criteria
Macro below would be to only go down to the cell = to the bottom-most cell with data in column A. These columns below are all in row A (the title row) If column named "paper" says "white" OR "grey" AND column named "pizza" says "mushroom" AND column named "size" says "large" AND column named "flavor" says "butter pecan".. (again, only going down to the same matching cell with any data in column a) Then delete these columns.

3D Linear Algebra. Translate To Best Fit Plane
I have several hundred points in cartesian x,y,z coordinates. I used an Excel add-in program to calculate the equation of best fit to the points. The equation is: z=A*x+B*y+C where (for this case): A= 2.29091 B= -1.77338 C= -192.494 My objective is to define the several hundred x,y,z points in cartesian coordinates about a new cartesian coordinate system whose origin is the centroid of the data points and whose z plane (ie z=0) is equal to the best fit plane defined above (when referenced from the original coordinate system). Using Pro/e (a cad program), I was able to create the new coordinate system using the x, y, and z intercepts from the best fit plane, and then was able to redefine the points about the new coordinate system. After the points were redefined in Pro/e, I was able to export the points back to Excel; however, I would prefer to only use Excel / VBA because I prefer the calculations be transparent for optimal accuracy and validation.
