Standard trend function versus array

[Angie]

Can someone explain the array function to me. And, what is the
difference between trending data using the standard trend function, and
adding an array to the trend?

I have five data points (utilization rates for 2001-2005) that I want to
trend out for 30 years. I would like to do it annually for the first 15
years, and then in 5 year increments.

Thanks,
Angie

Thank Bob,

But, I'm unable to get into the first link you gave me due to our firewall.
The Excel user conference sounds interesting, but the locations and timing
don't fit well with my needs.
