    Display constants in polynomial fit chart equation to more than 2 decimal places?

    is there a way to display the equation constants to 5 decimal places in the attached
    polynomial fit chart?

    You can do this with the LINEST function:

    Equation: y = (c2 * x^2) + (c1 * x ^1) + b
    c2: =INDEX(LINEST(y,x^{1,2}),1)
    C1: =INDEX(LINEST(y,x^{1,2}),1,2)
    b = =INDEX(LINEST(y,x^{1,2}),1,3)

    I can't sdo anything more to help as an image isn't much use... If you need more help, attach an Excel sheet, not a picture of one!!

    many thanks again Glenn.
    I was hoping to be able to format the formula on the chart itself
    to display to 5 places [instead of 2 places].
    however this gets me the info I need quite well.
    bless you.

    Select the trendline equation on the chart, Chart Tools > Format > Format Selection, Number tab, set the formatting you like, press Add.

    I unsuccessfully tried to mark as solved and to add to reputation.
    I will note to come back and try again.
    would be nice if it could be easier to do.

    The platform does wobble a bit!! The major problem is usually getting attachments to attach... At least that worked for you!!

    Regarding: ''Select the trendline equation on the chart, Chart Tools > Format > Format Selection, Number tab, set the formatting you like, press Add''
    I made it all the way to ''press add'', specified 5 decimal places, pressed ''add'' but the format did not change from 2 to 5 decimal places?

    please advise.

    Minor bug.

    Delete the trendline and do it from scratch, setting the formatting as you add it.
