GROWTHX and GROWTHY
These functions can be used to generate the x and y values required by Microsoft Excel's GROWTH function.
GROWTHX
Returns the value of y, where y is the result of raising a value to a specified power and then multiplying by a second value.
Syntax
=GROWTHX(exponent, basic, constant)
Example
=GROWTHX(2,3,4)
returns 36.
(3^2)=9 9x4=36 y=36
GROWTHY
GROWTHY is the reverse of GROWTHX. That is, it returns the power used in the calculation of y.
Syntax
=GROWTHY(y, basic, constant)
Example
=GROWTHY(36,3,4)
returns 2.
(3^y)=9 9x4=36 y=2
