    Need IF statement (inside of Linest Function) that will select range based on dates

    Hello All,

    This may sound a bit confusing, but I really need some help processing a large volume of data. OK so I need to use LINEST to extract Gamma, Beta, and Alpha from a list of data based on a quadratic equation. However, I want to be able to add an if function/statement so that the range of the LINEST function is only for data pertaining to a certain year. I have attached the worksheet. the LINEST functions for Gamma, Beta, and Alpha are in cells A2,B2, and C2 respectively (they are currently only using 2008, for example).

    Basically I need to figure out a way to select the range for the three linest functions based on the year in (column A values) was collected. I need a dynamic range because different years, and subsequent data sites, have different # of observations. If anyone could help me solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if this is confusing, it is difficult to put into words.
