For the record I am not suggesting that excel's linear fit should be used as I have no idea what data is being worked with. The question was about finding correlation between data ranges in a spreadsheet. I was simply pointing out that excel has built in functions for that... I see no reason to reinvent the wheel if one is just trying to convert the data into information. However, if one is trying to learn about the technique then, yeah, grab a book.

I also found this page that gives the excel calcs for other trendlines... http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip101.htm
