5% use the label as the reference cell

OFFSET function is the most versatile, but more difficult to code and to check.
But once it's coded, it is extremely powerful.
For switches that require only a "Yes" or "No", the easiest alternative is not an IF, CHOOSE or OFFSET statement, but simply to multiply by 0 or 1.
A 0 signifies "No" or "Off" (lack of) and a 1 signifies "Yes" or "On".
For example:
Refinance Existing Debt?
Total Existing Debt:
1
$1,000.0
New Debt
Existing Debt
$2,000.0
1,000.0
$3,000.0
This removes the need for an if statement or any other function, greatly eases coding and is transparent and easy to follow.

QUESTION
A five year growth rate could be determined by calculating the growth between
EPS 6 years ago and the current fiscal year EPS. I have noticed however,
that some firms use a least squares method to calculate growth, which
provides a growth rate that better fits the increase in EPS values over each
year within a 5 year period.
$ 1.80
y = 0.1403x + 0.8873
R = 0.9894
$ 1.60
$ 1.40
Do you know how to calculate this least squares growth rate using Excel? Are
there any sources that you may know about that describes this calculation in
a form that can be easily translated into an Excel format?
$ 1.20
RESPONSE
y = mx + b is the equation that minimizes the squared differences.
In general you always want to calcualte average growth anyway and that
can be done thru a CAGR approach which, in effect, sort of proxies a
least square approach already. Think of the straight line in the chart
at the right it doesn't really matter how eps got from $1.00 to $1.70,
but it got there with an "average" growth of 11.2% each year.
$ 0.80

If you refer to a statistics textbook or Excel help, you will see the following:
LINEST Function: Calculates the statistics for a line by using the "least squares" method to calculate a straight
line that best fits your data, and returns an array that describes the line.

WALL ST. TRAINING
In regression analysis, Microsoft Excel calculates for each point the squared difference between the y-value
estimated for that point and its actual y-value. The sum of these squared differences is called the residual sum of
squares. Microsoft Excel then calculates the sum of the squared differences between the actual y-values and the
average of the y-values, which is called the total sum of squares (regression sum of squares + residual sum of
squares). The smaller the residual sum of squares is, compared with the total sum of squares, the larger the
value of the coefficient of determination, r2, which is an indicator of how well the equation resulting from the
regression analysis explains the relationship among the variables.
Also, you may have Excel generate an ANOVA table: TOOLS => DATA ANALYSIS => ANOVA SINGLE
that will provide you with numeric descriptives on least squares (or sum of squared differences) to verify.
Note:
If you don't believe that the growth is linear, but rather, logarithmic or exponential, then clearly y = mx +b
would not suit your purposes. You would use another power - To illustrate, select the above chart with your
mouse and then click on CHARTS => ADD TRENDLINE => TYPE and select different types of trendlines.
To show the equation, swith to OPTIONS tab and click on Display Equation on Chart.
To directly address your question, regardless of what power you use to trend out growth or
forecasts, it is always calculated using least squares method.
Again, keep your end goal in mind and that is to calculate forecasted EPS!

VLOOKUP EXPLANATION
Searches for a value in the leftmost column of a table, and then returns a value in the same row from a column you specify in the table.
The V in VLOOKUP stands for "Vertical."
