How to Use the Trend Function in a Sub Procedure
The method in this article for using a
Trend function in a Sub procedure requires that the argument for new x's be passed as a
Single or a
Double data type. Note that the
Trend function also returns an array and that it
is necessary to pull the desired element to view the result of the
function.
The following sample macro uses a
Trend function in a Sub procedure:
Sub GoodTrend()
Dim NewXs as Single
NewXs = 5
Result = Application.WorksheetFunction.Trend( _
Worksheets(1).Range("A1:D1").Value, , NewXs, True)
MsgBox Result(1)
End Sub
NOTE: This macro works with horizontal or vertical ranges.
