This is probably super simple, but I want to confirm I'm doing the right thing here.
Basically i want to be able to detect if the numbers below are on a basic upward or downward trajectory over this 5 day period. So over the course of those 5 days, are the numbers increasing or decreasing? It would be rolling, so as I add more data, it would be looking at 3/2 - 3/6, etc... My thought was to a simple SLOPE(B1:B5,A1:A5) in C5, and then copy that forward with each subsequent new data row. Would that be the right way to do this?
