FORECAST.LINEAR function

Value at x on the linear trend. FORECAST.LINEAR works in Sheets with the usual arguments and results, on cells and on live data from the tools you connect.

Syntax

=FORECAST.LINEAR(x, known_y's, known_x's)

Argument	Use
`x`	required
`known_y's`	required
`known_x's`	required

On live data

In Sheets, FORECAST.LINEAR sits next to live data from a connected tool: =data.orders.sum(total) totals a table, =list.orders(customer) spills a column's distinct values, and a linked table column such as table.orders[Total] is a range any function accepts.
