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 have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)
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 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.
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'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 am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell. Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...). Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?
to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.
examples are like below: De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay 07 De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc 07 Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002 Lord Neethling Pinotage 01 Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir 07 Jacobsdal Pinotage 1994 Zondernaam Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Tokara Red 1976 St Emilion 03 Tokara rose Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon 05 DuToitskloof Pinotage/Merlot/Ruby Cabernet 1999 Tradition Juracon 375ml
I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.
I have had some luck with the left side, as in: =IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))
As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).
I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!

Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?
Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.
However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.
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 can't seem to find a way to find the max of only the last four digits of a cell, matching the first 8. As an example:
I have thousands of cells in a column like this, (and I can't add any columns to the sheet), and I have a cell with the first three digits and the second three digits. So, out of all these numbers, I want the MAX of ONLY the numbers with the first 8 digits of "800-123-". Also, the decimal on the end is how many times the number was called, and any the decimal and any number after it is to be ignored. The answer would be "800-123-0024", or "0024", I just need a faster way to find it without searching for it.
But I only want the first 2 digits (I need the last two digits deleted). I don't want to just divide by 1000 as this will leve me with a decimal. The numbers are in text format as some of them begin with a 0. So it would be:
I would like to take the first three digits of column A and do a lookup of column B that would return the corresponding number from column C. For example, if I entered the formula for 103PH, the lookup would find the 103 in column B and return "2775.00" from column C...........
I was wondering how do you format a cell so that when i enter the number 7 it automatically sets it at 007 and for like 10 it would be 010 so a must have of 3 digits
I have a column with social security numbers, i.e. 555-33-2222 and I need to change to show only the last four digits, i.e. xxx-xx-2222. Can this be done in excel?
I want to have column J with values from column A grouped by the first 9 digits and column J with the totals for these groups. It would look something like this:
I have a column of numbers, all with varying numbers of digits. I want to make them all have only 4 DIGITS in total (regardless of where the decimal is located... so there could be 4,3, 2, 1,or, 0 decimal places). I just want to make everything the same number of digits.
In this worksheet , in Columns B4:F2615, there are rows of digits that range from 1-36, I have a need to find the 10 digits that were drawn togather the most. I have no idea how to do this in Excel or can it be done? ....
I have a pair of digits in col B, that I would like to match with the digits in in col D, and display those matches in col E. If possible I would delete the duplicates in col E, and show results in col F.
I have a formula now that is =right(C2,5)+0 that is working well. However the data has grown and sometimes there is also 6 digits now instead of 5. So I need it to pick up either one 5 or 6. When I change the formula to 6 it works but picks up a / which happens to be before the 5 digit # sequence when there is only 5 digits. It works great for the 6. Is there another way around this so I only get the numbre digits if there are 5 or 6 and not the /. Maybe an if statement. I've tried several ways but none work right. The only other thing I can think of is to get it as above with the =right(C2,6)+0 and then afterwards to a find and replace and remove the / from the data. I was just tryign not to add an extra step to the process. Any ideas please?
Example of the data in coloumn C2 is: 15/2000/4567/NA/NA/97305or with 6 digits at the end15/2000/4567/NA/NA/973052there is always just 5 or 6 digits at the end that I need.
1. Remove the first 4 digits from each "Appeal ID"
2. Insert a new column (first column) called "Chapter"
3. Run a v-lookup down the new column against a file that is stored on my desktop. The v-lookup will cross check the Appeal ID against the file to identify the Chapter
4. Sort the data alphabetically by Chapter
5. Create seperate Excel files for each Chapter ...
