Hi Excel experts,
I'm trying to run a linear regression on two columns with integers as values after filtering them for blanks (missing values) and after filtering the rows based on "yes"/"no" values of another column in the table.

When I run the regression, I get the following error:

Regression - LINEST() Function Error

Question:

1. How can I temporarily filter out the entire rows for which there are no values in a cell within that row?


2. How can I deal with this error in order to run the regression?

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
I would keep the raw data on one worksheet and the edited data on another. Instead of filtering the raw data, copy and paste it to another sheet and delete what you don't want. Then go from there.

Ok, will do. If I approach it like you suggested, will I not get that "Regression - LINEST() Function Error"?

Thanks,
