Above is the polynomial equation of a trend line as shown on my chart, I have extracted the numbers into separate cells using LINEST, so now I have in cells A20 to E20 the numbers 1.083333333, -7.333333, 16.416667, -6.16667 and 4 respectively.With a "y" value of 25 how do I go about solving for a value of "x".
I've been stubbornly struggling with this on and off for a couple of weeks now and I'm not getting any closer to working it out and the websites I've found explaining the procedure all seem to go over my head by the time I get into the fourth or fifth paragraph.
I don't actually own Excel as yet - but I'm wondering if someone could tell me whether Excel is capable of solving what I'm told are 'polynomial equations'. An example of the sort of equation I hope to solve is: d/(1.18 + d) + d/(1.86 + d) + d/(9 + d) + d/(8.8 + d) = 2 d=? {I happen to know d = 3.65(approx) in this example btw}
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.
The functions of trend lines in charts are nice, but the coefficients of the output equations are all with only one-digit for the polynomial fits. The single-digit fits by the fitting equations often result in higher deviations from what we have seen in the charts.
I also tried to use the statistical functions but it seams that I cannot get any outputs of these coefficients except for the slope of LINEST, which is not sufficient for polynomials.
I also use addins such as as regressions but cannot get anything either to help for these coefficients.
May someone tell me how to make such outputs with more digits so the equations can be more precisely fitting please?
I'm familiar with 2d graphs, trendlines, and regression equations. Now I have some tabular data that has 2 input variables and a result. As with my 2d data, I would like Excel to create a polynomial equation of z from the x and y inputs. Can Excel do this, or do I need a plug-in or another software package?
I have a VBA function that calculates polynomial coefficients for a series of data pairs. One selects the range of cells that the coefficients are to be stored in, and enters the polynomial formula:
{POLFIT(Xa, Ya, N)}
Where Xa is the array of ordinate values, Ya is the array of data values, and N is the polynomial order to be fit.
It is obvious that one needs to select at least N+1 cells when the array funtion is typed in. But, it is easy to select too few cells.
I am looking for a way to test whether enough cells were selected for the range formula: The function declaration is
Function POLFIT(Xa, Ya, N As Integer) As Variant
Various means I have tried to count POLFIT do not return the correct value.
i have a function in a cell (that works) to extract coefficients from a range of cells in a workbook:
VB: =INDEX(LINEST(CP25:CP27,CQ25:CQ27^{1,2}),1)}
i have variables for cp25:cp27 and cq25:cq27 already defined in my vba code. the values for these in the case i am working on are as follows (returns 110.5):
1) how to do this function in VBA only - this is part of a UDF and cannot have any helper cells 2) how to refer to 560,570,580 as a 'range'. is there a way to put these six variables into my ranges for later processing?
All of the google searches i have deal only with linear regression, taking from existing graphs, or say to just use the function i have above.
I have tried
VB:
Var = Application.WorksheetFunction.LinEst(Sheets("references").Range("CP25:CP27"), Sheets("references").Range("CQ25:CQ27^{1,2}"), 1) [COLOR=#333333][/COLOR]
but return #value! errors. when i remove the ^{1,2} portion, i do return a value but it is incorrect (returns 160), what is the correct syntax for adding in the ^{1,2}? if you do that would be fantastic, but brings me back to issue #2 in that i need to refer to my variables in the vba code and not this range (as they will eventually be going away).
I have quite a number of 4th degree polynomials and attempting to extract the variables from every equation. I used the formula below (from another thread);
I was wondering if the solver was the only way to solve implicit equations. I am looking for something that will automatically solve an implicit equation after the appropriate information is entered into the referenced cells.....
but I get an internal memory error. However, if I use the solver dialog box directly from excel and not through a macro and keep the 'Set Target Cell' as empty, I get the right solution.
I'm trying to find definitions/commands to make excel find the best combinations of several defined scopes and restrictions to make an output number as high as possible.
This is by using a combination of several different equations, maybe excel has a magic trick for all the variables and formulas.
I am trying to analytically solve an equation to establish a physical value. Unfortunately, it's difficult to do the algebra, so it needs to be done this way.
I have an experimental value for this in "J2", so what I want to do is change F2 to that "I2" is equal to "J2"
Is it possible to get excel to match these values - I have about 200 different cells of this?
The formula is in cell "I2" =B2*((1-(C2/D2)*((F2/G2)^1.2))^-1.5125)
I am about to take a corporate finance course. The textbook uses a ton of basic (complex to me) equations to calculate interest rates, bond premiums, dividend reinvestment scenarios, etc.
I know that Excel has a bunch of specific functions to calculate interest, NPV, etc. but I am NOT interested in using those because I would like to have Excel "do the math" once I enter the formulas (or parts of formulas) correctly.
how to enter the equations below into Excel without using built-in formulas (I'm also not looking to use the Equation editor because I actually to calculate the answers, not just have the visual look/feel of the equation).
1R2 = [(1 + .0194)(1 + .03)]1/2 - 1
If done correctly, 1R2 in the above should equal 2.47%. I am totally fine doing parts of this in separate cells if necessary.
And something more complicated like the below. I wrote out the word "delta" because I don't know how to create the "triangle" symbol for delta on this forum post. According to the text, for securities with semiannual receipt (compounding) of interest, it is represented as:
-D = (delta P / P) / ((delta r sub b) / (1 + (r sub b)/2)))
Or in English, I believe that can be expressed as "negative D equals the quotient of delta P divided by P (in the numerator) divided by the following: delta r sub b divided by the quantity 1 plus r sub b divided by 2"
And finally
V sub b = 1000 / [1 + (.10/2)]2(4) + 50 times the following compound bracketed expression [1 - (1 / [1 + (.10/2)]2(4)] divided by (.10/2)]
I need to automate the attached as per the following (by not recording macro unfortunately).
Sheet one has a dump of data. First, I need to change the data format from yyyymmdd to dd/mm/yyyy. Then I need to filter for region EU and only copy the filtered data from columns A, C-D, F and the difference from columns I-J to Sheet 2. Then in Sheet 2, I need another column to calculate the difference per unit.
Any way to exclude colored cells from addition in a column. I will attach a simple example document.
I am building a spreadsheet to keep track of my monthly spending, and debt balance. I keep track of the total amount of bills I pay each month. As I pay them, their respective line is highlighted green in the spreadsheet. I would like to create a macro/formula which would sum the remaining cells in the column which are not highlighted to display the remaining monies which need to be paid out. I'm not sure if this matters but I am using office 2010.
It works perfectly, except that due to the nature of the equation, if there are no values entered for any sound levels the answer will be 9. Is there any way to check to see if any values are present? I've been looking into IF functions and I've tried (unsuccessfully):
