trendline

[PB]

I am trying to fill in the blanks here and come up with a graph and trendline
forecasting sales in $.10 increments when I have history of sales at .99,
1.49, 1.99, and 2.49. Obviously as the price goes up, unit sales come down.
So how can I forecast what might be sold at all these price points.

Thanks in advance.

Arrange the data with the known values in A1:B4
0.99 280,242
1.49 227,988
1.99 146,740
2.49 59,814

An XY chart trendline shows that a linear fit should be OK for this data.

The unknown values in A8:A19
1.09 275225
1.19 260375
1.29 245524
1.39 230673
1.59 200972
1.69 186121
1.79 171271
1.89 156420
2.09 126719
2.19 111868
2.29 97017
2.39 82167

In B8 enter =FORECAST(A8,$B$1:$B$4,$A$1:$A$4) and copy down to B16
or better =ROUND(=FORECAST(A8,$B$1:$B$4,$A$1:$A$4),0)
