so B=90 Same procedure was followed to calculate D * Unknown values in the sales column was calculated by adding the residual (column F) and predicted value (column E) Examples: A= 0.09734949+7.890265051 =8 * Unknown values in the predicted column was calculated using the regression equation. To calculate the unknown E value in cell E7 the following formula was entered into the cell =-4.9913+(0.1227*C7) This formula was copied to all the cells of the column to find unknown values E, G and I. * Unknown values in the residual column was calculated by subtracting predicted sales value (column E) from the actual sales value (column D) For example, to calculate the unknown value F the following formula was entered into the cell =D10-E10 References Cheng-Few Lee, John C.
