Example

A table contains an AdSpend column (tracking monthly advertising spend) and a Revenue column (tracking month revenue). You can use the RegressionSlope function to find the linear trend of Revenue as a function of AdSpend.

RegressionSlope([Revenue], [AdSpend])

A positive output means that as monthly advertising spend increases, monthly revenue increases. A negative output that as monthly advertising spend increases, monthly revenue decreases.
