Default Trendlines

Could someone please tell me how to get the actual numbers that the chart
represents? I want both the charts and numbers. I have a simple year and
corresponding number that I want to forecast out into the future and can't
figure out how to do that either since I just have one variable.
Thanks!

Default Trendlines

For a linear fit, :
Have a look at FORECAST and TREND functions in Help
You can use functions SLOPE and INTERCEPT to get these values into cells and
use them to make a table of data
Come back if you need more
best wishes

Hi,

Right click the trendline on the chart and choose Format Trendline, choose
the Options tab and enter a value in the Forcast Forward or Backward boxes.
You can also display the equation on the chart by checking the appropriate
box.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
