Hi. I've encountered discrepancies between the coefficients shown for a third-order polynomial trendline and those derived using the LINEST() function. The results are identical for a 2nd order polynomial but differ for any higher-order fitting. In similar posts from others experiencing this problem, there always seems to be an explanation (e.g. over-fitting, incorrect cell references and so on). That said, I just can't seem to find my error. Please help!

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
