LINEST multiple known_x's separated arrays

[Rickemil]

Hello friends,

I'm trying to make a formula with LINEST, that use in the known_x's
parameter, two separated arrays, my arrays are made with TRANSPOSE,
and I want to join them together to create the table that needs the
parameter.

The arrays has the same amount of rows and one column.

I need a user defined function to combine the arrays.

=LINEST(TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!AH17:AR17),CombineArray(TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!
DK17U17),TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!DJ17T17)),1,1)


Please excuse my English.

I need a user defined function to combine the arrays.
=LINEST(TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!AH17:AR17),
CombineArray(TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!DK17U17),
TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!DJ17T17)),1,1)

First, it is not necessary to change the orientation of the ranges.

If your y-data are in the 1-by-11 row AH17:AR17 and your x-data were in the
2-by-11 rows DK17U18, you could simply write the following array-entered
format (selecting the appropriate number of cells and pressing
ctrl+shift+Enter instead of just Enter):

=LINEST(AH17:AR17,DK17U18,TRUE,TRUE)

(Note: I am not typing the "Sheet1!" prefix for brevity. You would write
Sheet1!AH17:AR17 etc.)

Second, by "combine the array", I assume you mean: create one 2-by-11 array
of two 1-by-11 arrays for the purpose of __multiple__ linear regression, not
concatenate two 11-element arrays into one 22-element array for the purpose
of __simple__ linear regression.

As you might know, the x-data must have the same number of elements as the
y-data in the "principle direction" (row or column) as the y-data.

Finally, your two ranges, DK17U17 and DJ17T17, are unusual insofar as
they overlap. If that makes sense for your multiple linear regression
model, fine. Otherwise, you might need to revisit what you are trying to do
exactly.

Be that as it may, instead of using a UDF, I would be inclined to use
"helper cells". For example:

IL1: =DK17
Copy IL1 across through IV1

IL2: =DJ17
Copy IL2 across through IV2

Array-enter:

=LINEST(AH17:AR17,IL1:IV2,TRUE,TRUE)

But if you really need a UDF (for example, because you are replicating the
LINEST formula for several sets of y and x data), the following returns a
2-by-n array when passed two 1-by-n ranges (rows).

Array-enter:

=LINEST(AH17:AR17,combineRows(DK17U17,DJ17T17)

The UDF:

Function combineRows(r1 As Range, r2 As Range) As Variant
Dim v1 As Variant, v2 As Variant
Dim n As Long, i As Long
v1 = r1
v2 = r2
n = UBound(v1, 2)
If UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or n <> UBound(v2, 2) Then
combineRows = CVErr(xlErrValue)
Else
ReDim v(1 To 2, 1 To n)
For i = 1 To n
v(1, i) = v1(1, i)
v(2, i) = v2(1, i)
Next
combineRows = v
End If
End Function

End If

Thanks Joeu2004, your response help a lot.

I did a variation of your UDF to add one more row.

This is my approach, and work:

Function combineRows2(r1 As Range, r2 As Range, r3 As Range) As Variant
Dim v1 As Variant, v2 As Variant, v3 As Variant
Dim n As Long, i As Long
v1 = r1
v2 = r2
v3 = r3
n = UBound(v1, 2)
If UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or n <> UBound(v2, 2) Then
combineRows2 = CVErr(xlErrValue)
Else
ReDim v(1 To 3, 1 To n)
For i = 1 To n
v(1, i) = v1(1, i)
v(2, i) = v2(1, i)
v(3, i) = v3(1, i)
Next
combineRows2 = v
End If
End Function

But, I dont understand why this part of the function repeat twice:

UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v1, 1) <> 1

Well, like I say you help me a lot, thanks for all.

Sorry for the previous posting. Fat-finger missend.

Typo. The line should be:

If UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v2, 1) <> 1 Or n <> UBound(v2, 2) Then

v1 = r1
v2 = r2
v3 = r3
n = UBound(v1, 2)
If UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or n <> UBound(v2, 2) Then

For completeness, the test should be:

If UBound(v1, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v2, 1) <> 1 Or UBound(v3, 1) <> 1 _
Or n <> UBound(v2, 2) Or n <> UBound(v3, 2) Then

That determines if r1, r2 and r3 are 1-row horizontal ranges, and all ranges
are the same number of columns (n).

Thank you very much.
