INTERCEPT

Definition/Description of Formula:

Calculates the y-value at which the line resulting from linear regression of a dataset will intersect the y-axis (x=0).

Syntax:

INTERCEPT(dependent, independent)

• dependent - The range representing the array or matrix of dependent data.
• independent - The range representing the array or matrix of independent data.

Notes 

• Any text encountered in the value arguments will be ignored.
