how do you put a trend line onto graphs?

RE: Advanced excel

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, create your chart as per normal, formatting as necessary, usually you would set a trend line to ascertain how a particular growth pattern is established in a set of data over a period of time. Note; a Trend line can be applied only to a two dimensional chart.
Oh yes, how to do it; select the chart and on the Menu bar choose the Chart option, from the menu choose Add trendline, from the dialog box slect the type of trendline you wish to display, click OK, I hope that helps, if so please click the resolved link, best regards Pete

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
