What Can Excel Do
Regression lines can be used as a way of visually depicting the relationship between the independent (x) and dependent (y) variables in the graph. A straight line depicts a linear trend in the data (i.e., the equation describing the line is of first order. For example, y = 3x + 4. There are no squared or cubed variables in this equation). A curved line represents a trend described by a higher order equation (e.g., y = 2x2 + 5x - 8). It is important that you are able to defend your use of either a straight or curved regression line. That is, the theory underlying your lab should indicate whether the relationship of the independent and dependent variables should be linear or non-linear.
In addition to visually depicting the trend in the data with a regression line, you can also calculate the equation of the regression line. This equation can either be seen in a dialogue box and/or shown on your graph. How well this equation describes the data (the 'fit'), is expressed as a correlation coefficient, R2 (R-squared). The closer R2 is to 1.00, the better the fit. This too can be calculated and displayed in the graph.
Why it happens, and what to do about it. You can't insert rows or columns. The 'Cannot shift objects off worksheet' message occurs when you attempt to insert rows or columns in a worksheet, and the option Nothing (hide objects) is selected under the For objects, show section in Excel options.

The 'Cannot shift objects off worksheet' message occurs when you attempt to insert rows or columns in a worksheet, and the option Nothing (hide objects) is selected under the For objects, show section in Excel options. After you’ve created a macro, Excel will execute those instructions, step-by-step, on any data that you give it. For example, we could have a macro that tells Excel to take a number, add two, multiply by five, and return the modulus. Now, whenever we tell Excel to run that macro, we don’t have to manually do each step; Excel will do them all. Using the linear equation (labeled A in Figure 5), a spreadsheet cell can have an equation associated with it to do the calculation for us. We have a value for y (Absorbance) and need to solve for x (Concentration). Below are the algebraic equations working out this calculation: y = 2071.9x + 0.111. Y - 0.0111 = 2071.9x (y - 0.0111) / 2071.9 = x. Excel scares a lot of people. Terms like PivotTables, VLOOKUP, and circular references make their heads spin. But once you have a basic grounding in Excel, you can do all these things and more.

The data below was first introduced in the basic graphing module and is from a chemistry lab investigating light absorption by solutions. Beer's Law states that there is a linear relationship between concentration of a colored compound in solution and the light absorption of the solution. This fact can be used to calculate the concentration of unknown solutions, given their absorption readings. This is done by fitting a linear regression line to the collected data.
