I have a data set that I would like to run a linear regression analysis on.
Can Excel help me with this and if so how do you do it?
 
The short answer is YES but there are many options
1) On an XY chart of your data use Insert Trendline; specify Linear and
specify Display Equation
2) Use function SLOPE & INTERCEPT to get these statistics from your data
3) Use LINEST for same purpose but with more statistics
4) If you have Analysis ToolPac installed; use Tools | Data Analysis and
select Regression

a) Have a look at these in Help
be) Google with search term: Excel Regression
c) Try a simple Excel book (from library or second hand from
www.abebooks.com)

Then come back with more details of the data and your needs so we can get
specific.
You
best wishes
