Hi. I'm new to forums like this.
In Excel, I have an array of 30 random positive and negative values.
I wish to execute a best-fit via a corresponding cell formula that can be used
to adjust all the values in their individual negative or positive family group, in
one direction away from the absolute maximum deviation accordingly, regardless
of the sign of that maximum value:
Using initially only the highest negative and highest positive value, I have first
subtracted half the absolute difference between them for a value to be the best-fit
adjustment factor.
Typically my adjusted column would look something like below.
0.210 0.220
0.140 < == THESE VALUES TO THESE == > 0.150
0.110 0.120
-0.261 -0.251
0.111 0.121
0.117 0.127
0.279 HIGHEST POSITIVE .279 0.289
-0.024 -0.014
-0.299 HIGHEST NEGATIVE .299 + (highest of the 2 values) -0.289
-0.115 ------ -0.105
0.170 578 / 2 = .289 0.180
0.035 0.045
0.027 .299 - .289 = .010 (best fit adjustment value) 0.037
-0.138 ==== -0.128
0.081 0.091
0.102 0.112
-0.016 -0.006
0.267 0.277
I'm betting this isn't too tricky right?
Cheers
OK my column spacing has gone nuts when posted. Sorry about that.
