Description moe gren 2015-10-11 17:05:39 UTC
The RSQ function returning values greater than one. In my use it's showing >23. It could be that u need more of a description on how it is being calculated. But excel results are between 0 and 1.

Reproducible.

I get 2.58941… with RSQ
0.83332… with a scatter chart
0.941176 with LINEST

Note that the result of RSQ is the square of PEARSON, so the result of PEARSON is also false.

Comment 7 Andreas Heinisch 2021-04-13 11:25:21 UTC
I investigate the error and the problem arises during the calculation of the final result, because the involved numbers are close to zero and below the numerical limit of LO.

There are two ways in order to solve this issue. Either, if the involved numbers are below the numerical limit, just show a division by zero error, or set them to the numerical limit.

In the second case, the attached example would lead to:
RSQ Top
3,4504615480428E-15
RSQ Bottom
2,5975708894356E-14

Excel shows a division by zero error.
