    Validation of equation on chart

    This is a linear graph. When the y value is -0.007, I cannot get the value of x that should be on the trendline and propostional to the y value. It is far apart from the line. Is it something wrong with setting of the excel? Pls help me!!!!!

    Welcome to the forum.

    There isn't a formula or graph in your workbook. Maybe you'll give us a clue as to what you're talking about.

    Re: Validation of equation on chart

    the question is that when i replace the y value with - o.oo7, the x value that i get is 337.44 and it is not on the trendline. In my opinion, the x value supposed at around 331 and should be less than the highest value plotted in the graph.

    Re: Validation of equation on chart

    How can u get that? could u please explain to me?

    why is the trend line given by the excel doesn't give me a correct value?
    if i place
    y = 0.0025x - 0.8506


    when Y = -0.007, the formular given by the trend line will give me a value of 337.44 instead of the correct value of 331.14

    is that some setting i must specifiy in formating the trend line?

    Re: Validation of equation on chart

    That's a rounding issue.

    Increase the decimal placage on the trend line data label.
