                           Figure 13-18.  The new menu command in the Chart menu.

                   To use the utility, you first must select a Trendline equation in a chart.  Then
               choose the Copy Trendline to Cell.. . command.  Two dialog boxes direct you
               to, first, select the destination cell for the formula, and second, select the cell for
               the independent variable x.  The utility converts a trendline equation such as
                   y = 3x3 + 25x2 - 5x - 11
               into the corresponding Excel formula
                   = 3*A9"3 + 2.5*A9"2 - 5*A9 - 11

                   The utility can handle linear, logarithmic, polynomial, power and exponential
               Trendline equations.
