Hi All,

I have two trend lines generated from the same data. As you can in the chart, the polynomial trend line creates an R squared value of 1. The linear regression trendline creates an R squared value of 0.148.

My data set is

XY
57.5​
16.56​
52​
16.34​
54​
16.76​

Using LINEST(B2:B4,A2:A4^{1,2}), I can get the co-efficients of the polynomial.
Using LINEST(B2:B4,A2:A4), I can get the slope and intercept of the linear trend line.
Using RSQ(B2:B4,A2:A4), I can get the R-Squared value of the linear trend line

How can I get the R-Squared value of the polynomial from the same dataset?

I have tried a few alternative methods to calculate the R Squared and it always calculates the values for the Linear Trend line, not the polynomial.

I really would like to have both R-Squared values in the same sheet, so the I can switch formulas as the data changes.

Thanks in advance

To get R-squared as a cell value for different types of trendlines:

Linear
Excel Formula:
=RSQ(known_ys, known_xs)
Power
Excel Formula:
=RSQ(LN(known_ys), LN(known_xs))
Logarithmic
Excel Formula:
=RSQ(LN(known_ys), known_xs)
Exponential
Excel Formula:
=RSQ(known_ys,LN(known_xs))
Polynomial (2nd degree)
Excel Formula:
=INDEX(LINEST(known_ys,known_xs^{1,2},TRUE,TRUE),3,1)
Polynomial (3rd degree)
Excel Formula:
=INDEX(LINEST(known_ys,known_xs^{1,2,3},TRUE,TRUE),3,1)
