Hi everyone, I've encountered an issue while creating a series of graphs within Excel. The trendline seems correct and follows the data points I have nicely. Unfortunately, when entering the value for x into the equation manually in Table 1, the values differ greatly, percentage-wise. I have checked online to see if there might be a solution for it but I haven't found anything concrete and LINEST doesn't seem to work.

Is there any way in which I can get the equation to return an answer close to what is displayed in the graph?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
It turns out that I am at fault - I was comparing the values in the wrong column the entire time

I also managed to use the LINEST functions to "recreate" my trendline's equation to a high degree of accuracy.

Apologies if anyone wasted their time.
