Logarithmic trendlines are best used with data that increases or decreases at a constant rate. The equation of the trendline will appear on the graph. Select the "Display Equation on Chart" checkbox. To find the equation of the trendline, click the "Trendline" button again and select "Options." A menu will appear with different options for the trendline. The slope of the line is the rate of change, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. The equation of a linear trendline is y=mx+b, where y is the dependent variable, m is the slope of the line, x is the independent variable, and b is the y-intercept. You can use the equation of the trendline to make predictions about future data points. Excel will automatically calculate the trendline and add it to your graph.

To add a linear trendline to your data, select the "Linear" option from the trendline menu. They are best used with linear data, which is data that increases or decreases at a constant rate. Linear trendlines are the simplest type of trendline. Select the type of trendline you want to use. A menu will appear with different types of trendlines you can add to your data. Then, click the "Insert" tab on the ribbon and click the "Trendline" button. To add a trendline to your Excel graph, first select the data you want to use to create the trendline. In this article, well show you how to add a trendline to your Excel graph and interpret the results. Trendlines are best used with linear data, but you can also add them to logarithmic, polynomial, and exponential data.

Adding a trendline to your Excel graph can help you see patterns in your data and make predictions about future data points.
