    How to not include NA values with LINEST function

    Hi,

    I used this function to calculate the slope from a range with #N/A values and it worked fine:

    =SLOPE(IF(ISNA(H5:H33),"",H5:H33),IF(ISNA(G5:G33),"",G5:G33))
    (finished with ctrl + shift + enter)

    So i assumed this would work to in order to calculate the std error of the slope:

    =INDEX(LINEST(IF(ISNA(H5:H33),"",H5:H33),(IF(ISNA(G5:G33),"",G5:G33)),1,1),2,1)
    (finished with ctrl + shift + enter)

    But I was wrong.

    Any ideas of how to get this to work?

    Thanks,

    Harald

    LINEST will not allow gaps in data: http://newtonexcelbach.wordpress.com...ata-with-gaps/
