This dialog also appears when you right-click on an existing trendline and choose Format from the context menu, with an additional tab for patterns (to format the line). This pops up a dialog from which you can select a type of trendline to fit to the series, as well as choose options for the trendline. The easiest way is to right click on a series, and choose Add Trendline from the context menu. For the most part, Excel is adequate for this purpose, particularly if the data aren’t “extreme” (a statistical term) and if the data is not overfitted.Īdding a trendline is straightforward. Note: Some versions of Excel have problems performing statistics on some data sets. The person had a motor, and had measured horsepower (HP) at particular rotational speeds, in RPM (revolutions per minute). The errors are listed in the order they are likely to be realized, not in the order of severity. I will use this example to describe a number of errors people encounter when fitting data. I saved the example, because I knew I’d have a blog someday, and I’d need a topic. Several years ago I helped someone who was having trouble with a fitted trendline in an Excel chart.
