[comp.os.os2.apps] Excel:1. Regression?

	I recently had the pleasure of trying to create a regression model
Excel.  I don't have the Excel manual, and was trying to figure it all out
from my Cybex book on Excel.

	LINEST and LOGEST were so confusing to me that I did this (I didn't
have that many data points):  I put all the data points into a statistical 
package and got the slope and intercept, I then created a formula in the 
second row of the array making it equal to (mX + b.  You can put in a bunch
of predictors into the first row of your array and then copy he formula 
across the second row.  You are then able to plot the info using file_new_
chart.
