Slope equation calculation (Is it the same as trendline?)
- Mar 19, 2025
The forum has been broken since late 2024. I only now got a notification of your reply.
For a 4th degree polynomial, you can't just calculate the slope - you have to calculate the coefficients for x, x^2, x^3 and x^4. For OpSens CH2 to PICO CH1:
To use this to predict/interpolate values:
These values look reasonable to me.
The displayed equation of a trendline may have rounded constants. You can change the number format of the equation by clicking on it and then hitting the short-cut key combination Control+1.
You can then set options like these:

Hey JKPieterse,
IDK what happened to my first reply to you, but here we go again:

I'll share a sheet of my workbook with the first graph implementing your idea.
Thanks!
