Estimating The Gradient of A Line

[cruckshank]

Hi, I've got a graph (attached), and I'm trying to use excel to find the gradient of the positive slope, by modelling it as a straight line. I've completely forgotten how to do this in excel, so would appreciate it if someone could remind me please!

Thanks in advance.

Basically, you can use SLOPE function. You can also graph only part of your data (these points which "almost form one line") and add trendline to a graph, displaying it's equation.

Anyway, next time consider attaching a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.
