Hi,
I am trying to calculate the gradient of a 6 order trendline. I have recreated the trendline equation in a worksheet however I can't work out how to differentiate the line equation to give me a single gradient figure (worked out how to get the gradient at a specific point on the curve, however not for the whole curve). How can I manipulate excel's functions to get the gradient of a 6 order polynomial?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
