HELP: Trendlines in MS Excel

[fizzy_drink]

Evening!

I have a few graphs in MS Excel, with trendlines.

I'd like to analyse the trends, so as to compare the growth on various graphs.

IE I want to compare the trendlines to each other. Is there a way to get Excel to tell me the angle of the trendlines at all?

It can show formulas for trent lines ie y = x+8 etc. However its always a complex line equation when I do it.

no easy way i know of. Set trendline, display equation, then the gradient is the multiple of x, assuming it's a linear equation.

Ta.

I've got the slope now (m), so that's what I wanted basically.

All my graphs have the same X scale, so the slope (y=mX + C) is comparable.
