Function Syntax =COUNT(first number, second number, etc.) OR =COUNT(first cell reference: last cell reference)
Function Usage
Counts the number of data points in the parenthesis.
=SLOPE(first y cell reference: last y cell reference, first x cell reference: last x cell reference)
Outputs the slope of a linear regression equation given points x and y. Inputs must be in terms of cell references.
=INTERCEPT(first y cell reference: last y cell reference, first x cell reference: last x cell reference)
Outputs the y-intercept of a linear regression equation given points x and y. Inputs must be in terms of cell references.
Example How many values are listed: 1, 3, 4, 5? Input: = (1,3,4,5) Output: 4 Given the points on a line, (2,3) and (6,4), find the slope. Input: First, enter data into a spreadsheet.
Then, type: = (2: 3, 2: 3)) Output: ? Given the points on a line, (2,3) and (6,4), find the intercept. Input: First, enter data into a spreadsheet.
Then, type: = (2: 3, 2: 3)
Output: 2.5
