Trend analysis

What are the best tools for different types of trend analyses?

RE: Trend analysis

Hello Philip

My name is Greg Eze and I am new to Best training.

In terms of trend analysis, the way to analyse the trend is to:

1. Draw the column chart first.

2. Click on one of the bars so that all the bars are selected.

3. From the Chart option on the Menu Bar, choose the Add Trendline option.

4. You can choose the trendline that you wish to use then click OK. If you wish to display the formula or the R-squared value (some statistical value), you can choose the Options Tab and choose Formula and/or R-squared value before clicking ok.

The type of trend you choose from the trend options depends on what shape your data is and how you wish to analyse it.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you

Greg

Excel tip:

Repeating headings on spreadsheets that print on more than one page

By default when you print a spreadsheet out and it prints on more than one page, the headings at the top and the side of the spreadsheet don't appear on all the pages following page 1.

To get Excel to repeat headings on all pages when printing, go to File - Page Setup - Sheet, then select the rows to repeat at the top of pages, and the columns to repeat at the side of pages by clicking on the red arrows at the right side of the two boxes under the 'Print titles' area. Then click OK.

If you view your spreadsheet in Print Preview, you should see the headings being repeated on each page.
