    Sine wave with increasing peaks and increasing troughs

    Is there a way to create a sine wave chart in Excel where the each successive peak is higher than the preceding peak, and the troughs are higher than the preceding troughs?

    Hi,

    No doubt, yes, assuming that it's mathematically possible to have such a sine curve, which I'm sure it is. Do you have the data ready to plot?

    I would class your question as more of a trig/math question than Excel.

    Basic intro to amplitude in sin/cos functions http://www.intmath.com/trigonometric...speed=noscript
    This tutorial focuses on a being a constant. To get these curves to have a continuously increasing (or decreasing) amplitude, we simply need to subsitute a suitable function of x in for a. The simplest expression might be y=x*sin(x), though you could conceivably use any number of functions for a.
