    Re: Excel Point Plotting

    Short but useless answer -- Yes, this is possible.

    Generally, before plotting points onto a chart, one needs to calculate those values in the spreadsheet. How are you planning to perform the regression and/or smoothing and extrapolation? Are you looking for built in functions like the various FORECAST.xxxx() functions (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-93e0308d5f6e )? Do you have a different algorithm in mind?

    We are usually pretty good at programming algorithms into Excel, if you can help us understand the algorithm you want to use.

    Re: Excel Point Plotting

    Hello Shorty,

    thanks for your reply. Yes I did presume using excel linear forecast function to forecast the values, but
    I want those values plotted not only based on the past values but by also taking into consideration the
    end value.

    Otherwise, the values from 2022 to 2029 would show a subtle change and there would be spike because of the
    end value for year 2030 which would be a bigger value.

    I also tried using trendline and adjusting it such that it intersects the end point i.e value at 2030 but then
    it is very difficult to estimate exact values of the points on the curve manually.

    Would you have any other better ideas for this problem?
