Linest Calculation

Feb 12, 2010

I'm trying to implement the linest formula in a programming language for my coursework.
I've looked on excel help but it only explains on how the function selects data.

how to the values are calculated and the steps?

LINEST Function Calculation Using Only VBA

May 7, 2005

I can do least squares fitting utilizing LINEST and a worksheet. (See attachment.)

I would like to do the same calculations entirely within VBA.

I can specify the values as arrays within VBA :

Sub linest2VBA()
'
' linest2VBA Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+A
'
Dim dXvalSqd(4), dXval(4), dYval(4), dFirstRegStat As Double
Dim i As Integer
Second Question:

Is there a way to get the remaining regression statistics within VBA by referencing only the three arrays: dXvalSqd, dXval, and dYval?

Formula To Skip Over That Data Point In The LINEST Calculation

Sep 4, 2009

I have instances where my Y variables sometimes contain a zero in the data and i need a formula to skip over that data point in the LINEST calculation.

Y variables are in Row 1, Columns A:E
X variables are in Row 2, Columns A:E

The following formula is returning a #VALUE! error: .....

LINEST

Jun 19, 2008

I have a table something like this (much bigger in reality)

1 5
2 10
5 15
7 #N/A
9 20
12 25

I need to interpret the above data with the linest function, but for a variety of reasons i cant delete the error square. How can i get the LINEST to ignore the #N/A and the 7? otherwise it returns an error.

Linest Different From Trendline

Jan 22, 2009

I am using Excel 2007. I have two sets of data. y-series is 58.61, 58.66, 58.71 and 58.76. x-series is 0.8313, 0.8309, 0.8305 and 0.8301.

I am trying to fit a quadratic function to this data. When I plot a curve and fit a trendline I get the coefficients for the equation ax^2+bx+c
a=1.3939e-11
b=-125
c=162.5225
The plotted line seems to fit the data fairly well.

However, I want to use the linest function and I am using the formula:
=INDEX(LINEST(B2:B5,A2:A5^{1,2}),1,1)
I change the index column number as appropriate to get the coefficients:
a=-75.23775
b=0
c=110.603763

The coefficients from linest seem to be way out. how I can get the output from linest to be the same as the trendline?

Polynomials (LINEST)

Oct 23, 2008

My "calculated" polynomial is not the same as the Trend line on the graph. The one on the graph seems to be correct.

Basically, I am using the LINEST function to create a polynomial equation inorder to extrapolate data. And also with a given equation, and a given y, find x.

LinEst In Vba - Not Using Ranges

Nov 12, 2008

I am calculating variables in Vba and want to find their co=effiicients in the for y=a +bx +cx^2. This works great if I output my variables to excel and then pick up this range however as I am generating the variables in vba and have an array of variables I would rather not have to keep spitting them out to excel then picking them up again. The three important lines in my code are:

c(nFix - j) = WorksheetFunction.Index(WorksheetFunction.LinEst(inpv, Application.Power(inps, Array(1, 2))), 1)

b(nFix - j) = WorksheetFunction.Index(WorksheetFunction.LinEst(Range(Vc), Application.Power(Range(SPd), Array(1, 2))), 1, 2)

a(nFix - j) = WorksheetFunction.Index(WorksheetFunction.LinEst(Range(Vc), Application.Power(Range(SPd), Array(1, 2))), 1, 3)

As you can see for c I am referring to inpv and inps these are arrays. I have tried using inpv(), etc but no luck

b and a work great, here I am reffering to ranges Vc and SPd. As I am going through this a lot of times it seems rather inelegant not to be able to do the whole thing in vba - i would rather not use the dump to spreadsheet then pick up again approach!

Use LINEST In A Way In Which X Values Unknown?

Jun 23, 2014

is there a way to use LINEST in a way in which the x values are unknown and the y values are known? The opposite of how the function usually runs...?

How Can I Use An IF Statement To Loop LINEST

Sep 2, 2008

how to get my LINEST function to work properly. Now, what I'd like to do is have it reduce or increase the order of the polynomial until R^2 equals 1.0, or the polynomial reaches 6th order, whichever comes first.

Can I do this with a bunch of nested IF ELSEIF statements, or is there a cleaner way to do this?

Coeffs Obtained By LINEST

Dec 21, 2006

I am trying to obtain the 3 coeffs from a polynomial trendline equation.
The equation produced on the chart is
y = 3.1123x2 + 135.34x + 124.9 from the below info

X Y
1.0 250
2.5 500
5.0 890
7.5 1290
10.0 1800

But when I enter this array formula

{=LINEST(B2:B6,A2:A6^{1,2})}
I get different results.
-48.98,375.89,214.98

LINEST - How To Add No-adjacent Columns For The Known_x's?

Apr 27, 2009

I need to know how to selec no-adjacent columns for the known_x's in the linest function:

Example:

'- A B C D E

1) 80 63 9 3 26
2) 80 63 9 3 21
3) 74 65 7 2 30
4) 74 65 7 2 20
5) 63 65 9 3 16

=LINEST(A1:A5,KNOW_X'S,TRUE,TRUE)
Is there any way to select for instance: column B and E as known_x's?

I heard about something where we can select total area and then choose which columns should be considered via "{column1, colum2}"..
That is all is missing for me to finish my project!!! Pls your help!!!

LINEST Type Mismatch Error

Mar 1, 2012

I have built a user defined function called: portAlpha.

Code:
Function portAlpha(assetCode As String, indexCode As String) As Double

Dim assetCol As Long
Dim indexCol As Long
Dim assetData As Range
Dim indexData As Range

With Sheets("Data")

[Code] ......

I am struggling to get this to work though. Everytime I step over this piece of code:

Code:
portAlpha = Application.WorksheetFunction.LinEst(Range("M4:M63"), Range("N4:N63"), 1, 1)

I get a "Type Mismatch Error". All the values in the range are numbers, and LINEST should return a double, so I am puzzled as to why there is a mismatch...

I have hardcoded the range into the formula just to try and get it to work. Eventually this will be two variables and will look like this:

Code:
portAlpha = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Application.WorksheetFunction.LinEst(assetData, indexData, 1, 1),1, 1)

Referring To An Array Column Or Row Of LinEst Function

Jan 13, 2010

I am trying to use the LinEst function in a program. There are some good examples on the web but they all refer to a range in the format “A1:A45”. Is there a way to refer to a column in an existing array instead?

For example (thanks to Shg for this code): ....

Autoselect Range/Row Reference For Linest Array Function

Dec 31, 2007

I have set up regression in excel using the linest array function which automaticly updates whenever the data it is references changes. Currently the formula in K3 =
=LINEST(K8:K50,M8:N50,TRUE,TRUE) .

Only the Y range in column K changes and then the formula automaticly recalculates the regression parameters. However sometimes the range of valid data changes with each new update so currently K8 to K50 contains valid values and so the formula works. But if the range of valid data now ends at say K45, and the remaining rows (K46- K450) contains #DIV/0!. In this case the formula does not work and I need to go in manualy into K3 and reselect the range to get it to work (in the baove case to =LINEST(K8:K45,M8:N45,TRUE,TRUE)

Is there anyway I can get the formula to update the range (the number of rows to use) in the calculation automaticly so I don't have to go into the formula in K3 and change the range manually everytime the data changes? Basicly I like to use all rows in column K (from K8 to K50) where there is a values and ignore cells with #DIV/0!

I'm guessing the easiest way to do this would be to set up a dynamic range of some sort that feeds into the linest array function so that the end row reference for columns K and M & N changes depending on where the first #DIV/0! occurs in column K.

Passing Cell References From A Cell's Text To LINEST Function And A Graph

Mar 2, 2009

I'm using Excel 2003 and I'm trying to make my LINEST function and the source cells for a scatter graph use the cell range specified in another cell in the document. I figured out that it was simple to do the following:

I250 contains: 10, shows: 10
I251 contains: ="I"&I250, shows I10

But I can't figure out how to do this in a larger function. I've tried a few things but none of them work. Here is an example where I want it to do a LINEST with y values in cells Ja - Jb and x values in cells Ia - Ib (where a and b are integers specified in cells I250 and J250 respectively):

IF Calculation

Nov 10, 2008

Hoping someone might be able to kindly help me out with this one. It's for a spreadsheet of call charges (credit crunch thing).

On the sheet, I have the call charge up to an hour ($H$5). Over an hour, it's charged per minute at the rate in $H$6.

In cell E27 I can enter the number of minutes for the call.

So basically, if E27 is up to a value of 60 then the cost is just H5, if the value in E27 is 61 or more then it's H5 + (E27-60)*H6.

I'm thinking it's an 'IF' but keep making a mess of it...

Calculation Within A Pivot

Dec 11, 2013

What I need is to add a field that gives a gross margin percentage for a project.

To begin, I simplified the following data that the Pivot Table is using. Project (10 different projects), Account Number, Account Category (Revenue, and Cost), Debit Amount, Credit Amount, and a manually inserted column named Total (CR Amount - DR Amount). See 1st image. Pivot1.jpg

I have designed the Pivot table so it lays out like this. Pivot2.png Pivot3 (2).png

I have been trying to enter a calculated field that would automatically provide the Gross Margin Percentage. In the 2nd image, the Grand Total is the gross margin, but I am unable to use that as a selection when creating a calculated field.

Automate The Calculation?

May 21, 2014

I am trying to figure out the calculation steps that Goal Seek is doing behind the scenes so I can create the formula rather than clicking on goal seek whenever I need to make a change. I need to maintain certain weeks of supply every week depending on the sales. Let's say i want to maintain 5 weeks of supply every week, I would like to insert a column for "Suggested To Order' column that would change if weeks of supply goes below 5. In this scenario I would do a Goal Seek, but I want to automate the calculation so I don't have to do this step every week.

Calculation Direction....?

Aug 26, 2009

My understanding of Excel is that the calculations are performed in Column A first and then down through the rows in Column A. After all the calculations are finished in A, the calculation moves over to Column B and down the rows in B. Is this true?

I know that Excel is a little more complicated than that especially when it creates a queue for calculations, etc. However, assuming there's no calculation list/queue, would the above be correct?

Use IF And ROUND In Same Calculation

Oct 23, 2009

I'm creating a spreadsheet to calculate materials with the following columns Cost/10% of Cost/Customer Cost/Qty/Total cost.

I understand that whilst showing rounded to 2 decimal places excel stores more than this in the cell. which then throws out the Total cost by a few pence.

My research leads me to believe I need to use the ROUND function but I'm unsure which cell to use it or how.

Calculation Of Average In Vba?

Feb 12, 2014

I use VBA with the macro recorder. Now I'd like to programming a code to calculate the average of three cells.

I've done a lot of measurements about 180 but it can be also more. For one test object I've always done three measurements to get then an average.

My values are beginning in cell C2:CXXX, D2:Dxxx and E2:Exxx. For example I'd like to get the average from C2:C4, D2:D4 and E2:E4. The result of C2:C4 I'd like to have in cell H2, the result of D2:D4 in cell I2 and the result of E2:E4 in cell J2. Then the next calculation is C5:C7, D5:D7, E5:E7 and the results in H3, I3 and J3. And so on.

I've attached my excel file, maybe I didn't explained it well. The VBA-Code is for sheet Export.
