Hi-

I need to add a trendline to my plot of sinusoidal data, but Excel only
gives 6 options (linear, logarithmic, polynomial, power, exponential,
and moving average).  Does anyone know of a plugin, preferably free,
that lets one add a Sine trendline?

Thanks!

Hi,

I found just what you are looking for!

First I went to http://www.mathtools.net/ and found Emil Meyer's
Trigo_8e download. You have to use Stuffit Expander on the file twice to
get the folder from the exe executable.

When you've expanded it all the way you'll find the add-in Trigono.xla
which worked fine for me in Excel 2004.

Perhaps I'm doing this wrong, but it looks like this is only a
collection of trig functions (e.g. a function to display the result of
arctan in degrees and minutes instead of decimal degrees).  It does
not, to the best of my knowledge, allow one to add a sinusoidal
trendline by right clicking on scatter plot points and selecting "add
trendline".

Thanks!

And here I thought I had it!  Oh well.

There is an entire newsgroup devoted to charting. It's
microsoft.public.excel.charting

Maybe there will be someone in that group who has experience with what
you are seeking. Please consider posting your request there.
