Click a question to see the answer.

1. What usually causes #VALUE! in =FORECAST.LINEAR?

A. واریانس known_x's صفر است.
B. Only works in old versions
C. Output is always a dynamic array
D. مقدار x غیرعددی است. ✓

Explanation: مقدار x غیرعددی است. — Fix: برای x مقدار عددی وارد کنید.

2. What usually causes #N/A in =FORECAST.LINEAR?

A. Requires add-in
B. Select entire column for best performance
C. The two ranges do not contain the same number of data points, or one of them is empty ✓
D. مقدار x غیرعددی است.

Explanation: The two ranges do not contain the same number of data points, or one of them is empty — Fix: Make the two ranges the same size

3. What usually causes #DIV/0! in =FORECAST.LINEAR?

A. واریانس known_x's صفر است. ✓
