Hi everyone,
This is my first ever post and probably not the last. I hope someone can help me with a dilemma I'm facing at the moment.
How do I get the LOGEST function (or any forecasting functions) to read dynamic data going up?
That is; the forecasting methods in general read the given data from top to bottom (given only known x's and y's for, e.g.):
09.Jan.2013 $22.29
08.Jan.2013 $22.07
07.Jan.2013 $20.12
06.Jan.2013 $21.95
05.Jan.2013 $21.66
Here I am looking to predict the next day's forecast - 10.Jan.2013 $??,... but when I enter a forecasting formula it gives me a figure that resembles more like a value for the 04.Jan.2013's value (after highlighting the cells for known y's - stock prices).
I'm using data from the stock market which has data descending according to date.
My question to you fine people is; how do I get the formula to read upwards instead of down for the next value?
