1 min read

Calculates the expected y-value for a specified x based on a linear regression of a dataset.

Sample Usage

FORECAST(A1,A2:A100,B2:B100)

Syntax

  • x - The value on the x-axis to forecast.
  • data_y - The range representing the array or matrix of dependent data.
  • data_x - The range representing the array or matrix of independent data.
