Message: [QUOTE="tkpmep, post: 6306072"] If I call an Excel function (e.g. Linest) that returns an array (in the case of Linest, the slope and the intercept), how can I access one particular element of the array that is returned? If I select two cells, type =Linest(a1:a10,b1:b10) in one and then hit Ctl-Shift-Enter to enter an array formula, both the slope and the intercept are returned, one in each cell. But what if I want just the slope or just the intercept? I tried entering =Linest(a1:a10,b1:b10) (1) in a single cell but got only an error. What am I doing wrong? I'm aware that in this particular case, I could use the Slope() and Intercept() functions separately to get what I want, but there has to be a general solution for any function that returns an array.
