SUMMARY
To estimate an X value with a known Y value in Excel, users can manually draw lines on a graph. By using the "Insert >> Shapes" menu, users can select the line tool to create a horizontal line at the specified Y value and a vertical line to intersect the data line, allowing for the determination of the corresponding X value. This method is straightforward but may not be the most efficient approach available in Excel.
