    Question [linest] Whu LINEST can't the precise parameter of each variable?

    Here is my data:

    x-y+z-1=0
    x y z d
    1 0.6 0.4 0.8
    1.2 1.1 0.8 0.9
    0.5 0.6 1 0.9
    0.7 0.9 0.8 0.6

    When I use LINEST as an array function like this:

    =LINEST(C3:C6,A3:B6,,True)

    The result I get is:

    0.807365439 -0.8101983 0.792776204

    Why I can NOT get precise parameter as -1,1,1?
