Is there an add-in function for Excel to do "multiple
regression"? I found the linear regression but not the
multiple. Used to do this with lotus and symphony 17
years ago. Does Excel not have it?

Thank you!

Help for LINEST is extremely misleading. It does multiple linear
regression (polynomials, multiple predicter variables, etc.). If you
are wanting multiple non-linear regression (which I doubt that Lotus or
Symphony does), then you can use Solver to minimize the sum of squared
deviations (or whatever else your favorite fitting criteria happens to be).
