The new DAX function LINEST() is a new powerful tool in your Data Analysis skillset.
It is the easiest way to do Regression Analysis. And Regression Analysis is a fundamental concept in Data Science.
LINEST() function uses the Least Squares method to calculate a straight line that best fits the given data, then returns a table describing the line.
The equation for the line is of the form: y = Slope1*x1 + Slope2*x2 + ... + Intercept.
While we had this function in Excel for many years, only with this month update we have it in Power BI.
====CHAPTERS====

02:40 LINEST table creation
03:20 Equation for linear regression
04:30 Parameters table (years)
07:07 Measure for selected years
08:13 2nd Equation for prediction

great! very helpful video, thank you! My "Salary_Data" table is similar but also has a third column (object) which I need to filter in. The code to calculate SalaryEST, in fact, computes all mixed ebjects, even if I select a single object by a slicer from Salary_Data. Is there a simple solution without making X,Y table for each single object in Salary_Data?

Missing items: standard errors values of coefficients, coefficient of determination, standard error of y estimate, f statistic, degree of freedom, regression sum of squares, residual sum of squares.... check excel help on linest.

Hello, those parameters are to be found in the LinestResult table. The scope of the video is only to show how the Linest function works in practice, as its documentation is quite scarce (eg. they do not mention to wrap the Slope and Intercept inside a SUM or a MAX in the regression equation.

@@Data.Analytics.Central ...no offence., but LINEST in excel, google sheets, open office, and libreoffice has those statistics

@@pjarina have you watched the video? At 3:03 you have the list of the statistics that you have mentioned. It gives the same statistics as in Excel
