    Smoothing data

    Howdy,

    This is not a programming issue but an advanced formula one (I think). I have A LOT of weekly data by A LOT of stores. I want to calculate a "smooth" number for each week by using the value from a fitted trend line. It is easy to do for 1 store but I cannot create 2,000 charts to find 2,000 trend line formulas.

    Is there an easier way?

    Here is some sample data from one store.

    Thanks!!

    Jeff

    Alright....I figured out how to use the TREND function. However, it only calculates a straight line. Can I estimate a polynomial line??
