excel - regression analysi sproblem

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

hi all, 

when calculating regressions with excel, I sometimes use a polynomic 
fit. It's easy to display the corresponding function in the graph 
window using the TrendLine option. But then I have to read the 
coefficients and type them in manually. 

Is there a function for directly making a second order fit or getting 
access to the coefficients? RGP doesn't work since it makes only 
linear regressions.

I want to avoid programming my own viasual basic routines for that 
purpose. 

Any ideas?

All input is welcome. 
Wolfgang
