I often use "Logest function"(excel function) for making forecast.

 

However, I can't find this logest login in alteryx now...

If there is some method to get logest result, I really want to know.

(Some tool I didn't realize or connect with R system???)

Fun challenge :)

 

I have attached a macro recreating the Excel calculation of LogEst.

 

Back to first principles mathematics. Am sure there is an easier but it was fun to make a Linear Regression macro directly in Alteryx using just core tools.

 

The macro takes an X and Y series and will return the slope (m) and intercept (b).

 

On your test data matched the result!
