[Blindmath] Performing Linear Regressions with Excel

[Birkir Rúnar Gunnarsson]

Here is a fairly good tutorial and sample work sheet that should get
you on your way:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/perform-a-regression-analysis-HA001111963.aspx

Excel has what you need in this. You could go a longer way about this
if you wish, but these functions should get you what you need.
Cheers and good luck.
