LOGEST

LOGEST: Returns parameters for an exponential model fitted to known data.

Summary

LOGEST fits y = b * m^x and returns either [m, b] or an expanded statistics matrix.

Remarks

  • All known y-values must be strictly greater than 0.
  • known_x defaults to 1..n when omitted.
  • const controls whether b is fitted (TRUE by default).
  • stats=TRUE returns a 5x2 statistics block; otherwise returns 1x2.
