Ok, your method is not great but your function is great, can you explain it in a more detail what is it supposed to do, as i don't really understand it, also how did you get the numbers in E12 and F12
Using your function but with this code:
=LINEST(C14:C27;A14:B27;TRUE;TRUE)
i did get the exact number -0,403
Then i used the same formula as above but i swapped the places of A and B and got the exact number -0,205 which is also another number from the formula
Then i used the Factors a=-0,205 and b=-0,403 to calculate A*a and B*b which gave me some numbers then i subtracted that numbers from the solution and got another variable which is variable c=100,253
Here is the solution in the attachment.
I got the exact formula for the exact numbers... now the think is i knew the formula so i pretty much reversed engineering it, anyway i am gonna post a solution here for you and maybe someone else to learn how these functions really work.
Also here is a bit more detail explanation on how it works:
A B C D E
Example i am trying to solve
13 Var A Var B Sullution
14 100 80 47,513
15 90 90 45,533
16 98 65 53,968
17 87 76 51,79
18 67 70 58,308
19 60 60 63,773
20 90 55 59,638
21 80 50 63,703
22 50 45 71,868
23 77 76 53,84
24 88 56 59,645
25 56 90 52,503
26 84 110 38,703
27 112 130 24,903
Using this
=LINEST(C14:C27;A14:B27;TRUE;TRUE)
you get the number factor b
Now swat places of var A and var B
A B C
Example i am trying to solve
13 Variable B Variable A Sullution
14 80 100 47,513
15 90 90 45,533
16 65 98 53,968
17 76 87 51,79
18 70 67 58,308
19 60 60 63,773
20 55 90 59,638
21 50 80 63,703
22 45 50 71,868
23 76 77 53,84
24 56 88 59,645
25 90 56 52,503
26 110 84 38,703
27 130 112 24,903
Using the exact formula from above on the swapped columns a and b
=LINEST(C14:C27;A14:B27;TRUE;TRUE)
you get the number factor a
Now you have 2 factor a and b Factor a*var A+factor b*var B or short A*a+B*b this is the first part of the formula now only thing we need to do is get a constant X
Solution C = A*a+B*b + X
Now all we have to do is
X= C-A*a-B*b
now we have X=100,253
And the complete formula to get C from variables A and B
C= -0,205*A-0,403B+100,253
Now if you have any comment please do comment as i find this out by poking and trying not by knowledge of how the function works, but i guess i know know and if you read this you should to.
Also this can work for any number of variables the formula calculates a factor for the variable next to the solution
