Using Solverįirst of all, you need to install the Solver add-in. It is this cell G11 that we try to minimize using the Solver add-in. As you can see, below that table the residual Sum of Squares is Resulting constants and where the Solver add-in also returns the This table is where you enter your first initial guesses for the The const range names point to a second table in the file: Using the table references that current Excel offers, I included someĭynamic range names that point to the data.Ĭolumn with y values Constants of the equation
To ease working with the file I created some range names. The fourth column of the table is used to calculate the sum ofĪs you probably noted already, I used a couple of range names. =EXP(Const_a*xValues)*SIN(xValues)+Const_b Third column holds the formula that calculates the result of the fittedĮquation using the constants and the x-values. The most important area is the table starting in cell A1:Ĭolumn A holds your x-values and column B holds the y-values. The calculations and the data are concentrated on Sheet1 of the file.
