Adding Exponential Trendline to Graphs: Struggling

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a user seeking assistance with adding an exponential trendline to two graphs in Microsoft Excel, having already succeeded with one. Despite multiple attempts and even recreating the graphs in a new document, the trendline fails to appear. Suggestions include considering alternatives like OpenOffice or LibreOffice, which offer similar functionalities to Excel and have extensive documentation. Users express that transitioning to these free open-source software options can be beneficial, especially if specific Microsoft Office features are not essential. Sharing the .xlsx file for troubleshooting is also recommended, provided it does not contain confidential data.

Hi,
I need help to add an exponential trendline on my graph. I have three graphs and I have succeeded with the first one but somehow the exponential trendline will not show on the two other graphs even though I have selected the option multiple times. I also tried to re-do the graph in a new document but it did not work...
Please help me :)

M$ Excel is a for-profit product, so that anyone that has developed expertise will expect to recoup their costs.

I suggest a Free Open Source Software alternative in OpenOffice/LibreOffice, their Calc application (VERY similar to Excel), and their extensive documentation and on-line help. Indeed, they are so similar that on-line help may suffice.

Seems like a shot with closed eyes. Unless it has confidential data, you should share the .xlsx at least.

I agree, at least partially, with Doug. Based on my own experience, unless you need PowerPoint all the time (or Publisher, or OneNote, or whatever-libreoffice-does-not-offer), you could give it a try. I see a good amount of people around me making the change and liking it. Word to Writer and Excel to Calc are really easy changes.
