Hi guys,

I am using LINEST Array to calculate price elasticity and its related coefficients. For a multi-product portfolio.

Y values: Monthly Price elasticity for each SKU
X Values: Coefficitents for 5 items:
  • Season (4 separate coefficients)
  • Relative price level vs substitute products

Right now, I am using a formula as follows: {=LINEST(Y Values,X Values^{1,2,3,4,5},TRUE,FALSE)}

As the data I am analyzing has a number of SKUs. I want to only pull the relevant X (coefficient) and Y (monthly elasticity) values for each product. Right now I am doing this manually (:laugh:), but would like to automate the process. How can I do this?

Thanks very much in advance. I have not been able to replicate other posts that are using LINEST Array's with conditions to replicate this process.

To perform a LINEST calculation based on Product B, try the following formula that needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

Code:
=SUM(LINEST(INDEX(C2:C11,N(IF(1,MODE.MULT(IF(A2:A11="B",(ROW(A2:A11)-ROW(A2)+1)*{1,1}))))),INDEX(B2:B11,N(IF(1,MODE.MULT(IF(A2:A11="B",(ROW(A2:A11)-ROW(A2)+1)*{1,1}))))))*{9,1})

For earlier versions of Excel, try the following instead that also needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

Code:
=SUM(LINEST(N(OFFSET(C2:C11,SMALL(IF(A2:A11="B",ROW(A2:A11)-ROW(A2)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTIF(A2:A11,"B")))),0,1)),N(OFFSET(B2:B11,SMALL(IF(A2:A11="B",ROW(A2:A11)-ROW(A2)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTIF(A2:A11,"B")))),0,1)))*{9,1})

Hope this helps!

Flawless, thanks Domenic!

Due to my data set the formula is ~10x longer, but that worked great.
