help me on dis MACRO question its very urgent

[Vikky]

User inputs N entries in column A and B corresponding to values X and Y of a liner function.
Write a macro to compute the Slope and Intercept. Macro to be linked to the button.
Please do not use inbuilt statistical / mathematical functions




M (Slope)
C (Intercept)

Equation (Y = MX + C) Y=mX+C


Please reply as soon as possible

Looking like homework ... Don't do homework questions. You do homework questions.

[Vikky]

Its not homework. I dont know how should i proceed... i have been trying this question from past two days yet no able to solve thats why put it online... please help me on this question.. or at least tell me how i sho

[TMS]

If: Y=MX+C
Then: Y-C=MX
And: (Y-C)/X=M

But you have two constants, M and C ... I don't really know how you can determine what they are. If you have one, then you can calculate the other.

Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

An appropriate title would be "Slope and Intercept using Macro"

And strangely enough, a thread for this exact question was asked a few days ago here (I took the suggested title from that thread):
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ing-macro.html

So yeah, 2 users asking an identical question? This is homework.

[TMS]

Oh, it is so homework ... and despite the different user names, it should constitute a duplicate thread. Maybe they're on the same course!?

[Vikky]

Yeah dis was the question in our paper.. but we were unable to solve (atleast i could not) so i asked in open forum. So if such kind of problem comes again I will be able to solve it.

Actually the problem is not how to create the program... anybody can write the code. It is very easy.it is what is the procedure to solve the problem for calculating slope and intercept with "n" numbers. Calculating with two x and y co ordinate or by regression anybody can do it.

@TMshucks.. thanx actually i also got stuck at the same point i can solve this problem with two variables but solving it by more than two variables i dont knw... dat y i came to this forum

[Vikky]

This is the first time i registered or log in to this site. So i exactly did not know how to write the forum or if anybody already have asked the same question and also, if we can focus on problem it would be a great help.
