Parameters

  • Order
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. Required if Type is xlPolynomial. The trendline order. Must be an integer from 2 to 6, inclusive.
  • Period
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. Required if Type is xlMovingAvg. The trendline period. Must be an integer greater than 1 and less than the number of data points in the series you're adding a trendline to.
  • Forward
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. The number of periods (or units on a scatter chart) that the trendline extends forward.
  • Backward
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. The number of periods (or units on a scatter chart) that the trendline extends backward.
  • Intercept
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. The trendline intercept. If this argument is omitted, the intercept is automatically set by the regression.
  • DisplayEquation
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. True to display the equation of the trendline on the chart (in the same data label as the R-squared value). The default value is False.
  • DisplayRSquared
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. True to display the R-squared value of the trendline on the chart (in the same data label as the equation). The default value is False.
  • Name
    Type: System.Object
    Optional Object. The name of the trendline as text. If this argument is omitted, Microsoft Excel generates a name.

Return Value
