So you’ve made it to part 3 of Are You Trendy, well done.
In todays final post of Are You Trendy? we will take a break from the maths and discuss techniques and tools that Excel provides to assist us with Trend Analysis.
We will look at 2 techniques, one built-in to Excel called Charts and another which is a User Defined Function (UDF) I developed.
Both techniques have uses in analysis of trends.
Once again all examples below are found on the Examples Workbook.
Excel Charts
Excel has a number of charting styles some of which have the ability to calculate and display Trend Lines.
The following tables shows which charts Do and Don’t support built-in trendlines.
| Supports Trendlines | Doesn’t Support Trendlines |
| Scatter (X Y) | Pie |
| Line | Donut |
| Area | Radar |
| Column | Stock |
| Bar | Surface |
| Bubble |
For those charts that don’t support trendlines, this doesn’t stop us, as Excel users, from adding other series or using other techniques to add trendlines to the charts, it just that we have to do the hard work ourselves and not use Excels built-in skills.
For this exercise we will be using a Scatter (X Y) Chart but the techniques apply equally to all charts that support trendlines.
So lets go: First we need some data.
Next add a scatter chart , Select the data and Insert Chart, X Y (Scatter Chart)
Adding a Trend Line to the chart is as simple as selecting the chart and right click on the Series you want to add the Trend Line to, see below.
You can change the trendlines properties to make it stand out as per the above.
Once you add a Trendline a Format Trendline dialog will appear.
This is the main window for setting Trendline properties and format options.
In this post I am not going to be dealing with the Tab Options of Line Color, Line Style, Shadow and Glow and Soft Edge options, as I am sure you can work out what they do and play with them at your leisure.
Trendline Properties
Once you have added a Trendline you can access the Trendlines properties at any time by:
Selecting the chart
Select the Trendline
Right Click and Format Trendline.
How Many Trendlines Can I Have ?
You can add a large number of Trendlines to each Chart Series in Excel by simply selecting the Right Clicking on the Chart Series and select Add Trendline.
Some of the regression types may not be available on second and subsequent regressions.
Trend/Regression Type
The main section of the Format Trendline dialog is the Trend/Regression Type:
This section lists 5 trend types we are familiar with from the Are You Trendy? (Part 2).
For more details on the individual Tren Types refer to Are You Trendy (Part 2).
The default trend type is Linear ( Y = mX + c ).
You can select each type in turn and see the estimated trend.
Exponential
Linear
Logarithmic
Polynomial
This shows the Trendline for a Polynomial Estimate of Power = 2. Excel supports up to Power = 6.
Power
Moving Average
Moving average isn’t a forecasting tool, but is more of a data manipulation tool, which is commonly used for elimination of short term trends or smoothing of the data source. Some industries use Moving Averages to look at buying and selling opportunities by comparing the current price against longer term trends.
It is possible to use moving average data for trend analysis, but this must be first done manually in Excel and then it can be used with the techniques discussed here.
As such we won’t be discussing its use here.
If you are interested in reading more about the use of moving averages have a look at Moving Average.
Trendline Name
The Trendline Name section by default shows you the Selected Trend Estimation type and your Data Series Name eg: Linear (My Data)
However you can type whatever Name you want by using the custom field:
eg: Huis Fruit Shop Sales Trend
Forecast
The Excel Chart Trendline function allows us the option to project our Trendline a number of periods or X Values into the future or past.
The above will forecast our trend line 50 X axis values past the limits of our data and 10 X axis values prior to the limits of our data and is shown below.
This is a great option to use for 2 reasons.
Firstly you can use this to see where the Trendline will cross the Y axis (X = 0) and is an important check to validate your selected Trendline.
You can see in the example above that the Trendline crosses the axis at -10. If this isn’t correct we can either try another estimation technique or Excel has a tool, which is discussed below, to deal with that.
Secondly, you can use it to look into the future by projecting the Trendline past your data limits.
Misc Parameters
The final 3 parameters
Set Intercept
By default Excel Chart Trendline has used a Const value of True and hence calculates the natural intercept value for the data. If you want to over-ride this with a 0 intercept value Tick the box and select a value
Set Intercept : Not selected
Set Intercept : Selected Value of 10.0
I would always suggest using the Forecast backwards option first to see what the natural intercept is before using this option (Both charts above show the Trendline projected back 10 periods) but the second chart has a Y intercept set manually to 10.
Display Equation on Chart
The Display Equation on Chart options use is self explanatory, it Display the equation to the current Trendline on the current Chart:
The equation is based on the select Trend type.
The equation is also live, in that if you change and selected another Trend Type or the data changes the equation will update, similarly if you select to intercept the Y axis at 0 or another value.
By selecting the Text Box which has the equation the equations Font properties can be changed eg: Font Style, Size, Italic, Bold etc as well as background color.
Display R2 on Chart
This display the R2 value on the chart in the equation Text Box as shown above.
The R2 value is based on the select Trend type.
The R2 value is also live, in that if you change and selected another Trend Type or the data changes the R2 will update, similarly if you select to intercept the Y axis at 0 or another value.
By selecting the Text Box which has the equation the R2 the Font properties can be changed eg: Font Style, Size, Italic, Bold etc as well as background color.
How Can We Look at Values Along a Trend Line?
In Are You Trendy? (Part 2) and in the section above we looked at a number of ways of establishing a Trendline.
So how can I predict values along a Trendline?
There are a few ways and we will discuss 2 of them.
1. Write an equation in excel
2. Use my Trendy User Defined function.
Write an Equation in Excel
In the previous section we had a chart shown below:
The equation for the line of best fit is Y=7.8984.e^(0.0256.X) which in Excel cell formula talk is =7.8984*EXP(0.0256*X Cell)
So we can setup a cell or range of cells in excel to show us either intermediate values or future values of X and the corresponding Y values.
The great thing about having an equation is that we can now use this to animate our chart.
I’m not talking about Avatar style animation, but simply adding a tool for the user to interactively select X values and the equation and chart will show us the new Y value. This even allows us to show future values past the end of our data because we are using the equation to our data.
How do we do this?
Refer to Sample Workbook.
Firstly lets add a cell which will contain the X value
E52 = 10
Secondly add a cell which has our equation
E53: =7.8984*EXP(0.0256*X Cell)
Third add a Scroll Bar Control from the Active X controls on the Developer toolbar and set a few properties
Minimum = 0
Maximum = 300
Linked Cell = E52
Large Change = 10
Fourth add a new series to our chart which will just have a single X and Y value
Series Name = “Our Trend”
X Series = E52
Y Series = E53
You can now interactively move the srcoll bar back and forth and the Chart will show you the new forecast value for our sales in Huis Fruit Shop.
The limitations with the above approach is that it is fixed to the equation you use for your Y value, which is based on your selected choice of Trendline type.
Can we link this technique to the equation from the Trendline ?
With Excel natively, No 🙁 .
TrendY – A User Defined Function for the Analysis of Past, Intermediate & Future Trendline Values
In a post at Chandoo.org user Trevian3969 asked the question “How can I view intermediate values along a Charts trend line?”
The answer was the development of the UDF, TrendY (Trendy).
Trendy was developed to do exactly that, take the equation from a Charts Trendline and evaluate it to determine intermediate, past or future values based on a given X input.
Because the UDF is taking the equation for the trend line it can be used to return a Y value for any X values, prior to, later than or within the supplied or known X Range of the chart.
An Example of the use of Trendy is shown in the attached Workbook
Form: = TrendY(X Value, [Chart No], [Series No], [Trendline No])
X Value: Is the X Value that you want to know the Y Value of the Trendline
Chart No: Chart No is optional and is the Chart No on the current sheet, Default or omitted = 1
Series No: Series No is optional and is the Series No on the chart, Default or omitted = 1. The series No is the number shown at the end of the Formula Bar when a series is selected
eg: =SERIES(“My Data”,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$41,Sheet1!$C$2:$C$41,1)
Trendline No: Trendline No is optional and is the Trendline No of the Trendline you wish to track. Default or omitted = 1.
[Option Parameters, Default = 1]
Eg: = TrendY(20) will place the value of X=20 into the Trendline Equation of the Trendline of Chart 1 Series 1 Trendline 1
= TrendY(40,1,3,2) will place the value of X=20 into the Trendline Equation of the Trendline of Chart 1 Series 3 Trendline 2
=TrendY(B43,,3) will place the value of cell B43 into the Trendline Equation of the Trendline of Chart 1 Series 3 Trendline 1. Chart and Trendline both default to 1 as they are omitted.
The function works with all the Trendline types and variants of those, except the Moving Average.
To use the Trendy UDF copy the following code to a VBA Module or alternatively import the Txt File as a new Module
The code is also available in the Example Workbook with a fully working m0del.
If you don’t have the Trendlines equation shown it will do that for you and it ignores the R^2 function if shown.
The Trendlines equation box is actually where the function gets the equation from in the first place.
Then on a worksheet simply use then =Trendy(X Value) as described above.
Trendy has only been tested on Excel 2007 and 2010, use on other versions at your own risk.
Limitations
The Trendy UDF is limited to use the available precision of the parameters, for each equation, as displayed in the Equation Text Box on the Chart.
In some cases especially when multiplying by powers of large numbers and especially in the Polynomial equations, there may be a large discrepancy between the calculated value by Trendy and the displayed value by the Trendline on the Chart. In these cases the Trendline is correct. This will show on the chart as the Plot Y value of Trendy not being on the Excel calculated Trendline.
Trendy has 2 constants at the top of the UDF that are used for the calculation of Intermediate Equations. These are equations that the user doesn’t see but are done at a much higher level of precision to avoid these errors. These constants are:
Const DataLabelNoFormat = “#,##0.0000”
Const PolynomialNoFormat = “#,##0.000000000000”
If you have rounding errors the easiest way to fix them is to increase the number of decimals by increasing the number of zeroes after the decimal in the appropriate line, remembering that Excel only carries 15 decimal places anyway and Trendy is already using 12 for Polynomial Trends already.
Trendy returns the displayed equations to 4 decimals after the intermediate calculations in any case.

This is an awesome way to generate Housie Tickets. It's tough to find these tickets in the US. Thanks!
Hi mate
thanks for this.. this is a lot of fun...
Thanks mate. This is a cool way of generating housie tickets........
Thank you, great to see it working.
@All.. thanks everyone. I am happy you found this useful 🙂
Hi Chandoo,
I was trying to create this with family member names (around 45 names) instead of numbers. Is this possible?
Please help. The party is on 22nd Nov. Thank you.
I am looking at your hidden rows
I wanted to convert the tickets from 3x9 to 6x9
But I can't understand it
Would help me with that
Hi Chandoo,
I really liked your Housie Tickets. However, the tickets printed out are too small and I can't seem to increase the size to the regular printed housie tickets. Can you help me out please? Thank You. Dina
@Dina: Welcome to PHD and thanks 🙂
hmm... I have tried to set the printing preferences to print 20 odd tickets per each A4 page. But if you are looking for bigger size here is how you can get:
1. Go to to print preview and adjust margins and scaling. Scale your sheet until the tickets fill up the print area.
2. print. You may want to repeat this few times so that you can get optimum size. Then save the workbook.
3. next time you need more tickets, just print. 🙂
Let me know if you face any difficulties.
Thanks so much! I've been trying to find a random ticket generator with bigger tickets. So happy I found yours and instructions to increase size. You're a STAR!
I am having difficulties with sizing. I need eight tickets on A4 Landscape page. I am not too good with Excel but better with Libre Office Calc. I have tried to save to that format but it doesnt work. Can anyone send instructions that are not too technical?
Hi, Thanx a lot .. its very useful
hey i tried to download this zip but looks like the file is damaged can you help ?
Same problem here 🙁
@Ravi : You are welcome 🙂
@Madhu: Are you sure? I just tried to download and unzip it and it seems to work fine. Can you try again and let me know if you have troubles. It is a very small file, may be I can mail it to you.
Great.... Can i change colors
@Andre... sure you can. You may want to adjust colors from conditional formatting so that they are truly changed. Let me know if you have some trouble.
Thanks Chandoo once again for this great tool........ very creative!
Thanx Chandoo .

What happened to number 90???
@Modeste: Thanks for sharing your article.. 🙂
@Jo.. "I have removed number “90? from the list in order to reduce some complexity in generating the tickets." Generating 90 along with 80-89 creates a tricky problem of having 11 numbers in the last band while every other column has only 10 possible values.
May be you can take a look at the workbook formulas and help me generate the 90 as well by changing them...
hi Chandoo,
I have solved both of the problems. now any column not remains blank and yes.. number 90 comes also...
Cool. If possible, email the updated workbook so I can link it here.

Hi Chandoo / Jim,
Thanks for the details and excellent tool.
I am working for a media company in India and based out of Mumbai. We want to generate huge number of bingo tickets in 5x5 version with 26 grids in one sheet and roughly 13 million such sheets.
Please let me know if either of you can help me on this.
Not sure if it can be done in XL or VBA .
This is very urgent and need your help.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I understand its good for printing business and lot of vendors are already approaching us.
Issue is of generating these 5*5 tickets and each ticket to have unique 8-10 digit identity code.
Basically below is the requirement
***********
Each sheet will have 26 tickets
Each ticket have 5*5 grid acc to the US 1-75 number system but with no free space
Each ticket has a unique 8-10 digit pin code
We plan to print 5 million sheets (each sheet having 26 tickets)
There will be 1.25 million sheets which will be unique and the balance sheets (3.75m) will have the same tickets
However pin code will be unique in each ticket and hence there will be 5*26=130million unique pin codes
These output needs to come on an excel or as a PDF file in the same format as the sheet
*************
Let me know if you can guide me of such software or program that can be used by me for ticket generation.
Thanks
Jai

Hi Chandoo, i have downloaded your housie ticket generator, just have one query, how many maximum unique tickets it can make ????
do help me with this,
Shyaamal
@Shyaamal I guess the ticket generator should be able to make obscenely high number of unique tickets. since the process is randomized, you might see same tickets twice...
Hello Chandoo,
Awesome tool! .. I loved it.
Is there a way to tweak the generator so that I only generates no more than 4 tickets a worksheet (Make it nice and clean to print)?
I want to print more than a 1000 of these tickets, so dont want to click on refresh button 250 times.. so if once I click refresh, is it possible to generate 50 or so worksheet at a time? So that I can click refresh 4 times and get my 1000 tickets?
Please let me know of your thoughts.
Thanks
Vir
@Vir.. Thank you.
you can easily modify the formulas and add a macro to do this. The file is unlocked, so feel free to make the changes..
There is an online generator at http://www.bingocardmaker.co.uk, which generates the numbers in blocks of 6 cards, where every number from 1-90 is used. This is how the UK style books are usually printed, so that if you buy 6 tickets you are sure to have every number once and only once. Makes the generation routine a little trickier.

These tickets can not be used to play standard 90 ball Bingo, the number 90 is missing and the tickets must be produced in blocks of 6 which contain every number from 1 to 90. Also you can not have any columns with three blanks ( no numbers ) on the same ticket.
I'm really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

While generating random tickets, I found below issues in a few tickets:
1. Column without a single number
2. This can be for 2 columns at times
3. Columns with numbers in sequence (71, 72, 73)
4. Another Ticket generated will also have the same sequence (71, 72, 73)
If I have to distribute the tickets, I need to pick manually which is time consuming.

Hi,
I am unable to see 90 number anywhere in the tickets , can you please let me know the reason for the same ?
In the number generator apps, we have numbers from 1-90 so it is better to have 90 gets printed on the tickets as well.
Please share your thoughts.
Hi,
thanks for sharing this awesome excel for Bingo / Housie Ticket Generation.
Just noted that many tickets have columns with no value at all.
I understand that each column must have atleast one value.
Can you please see and share an edited excel please.
Many thanks for the awesome stuff you are doing.
Cheers
Mahesh
There is a major flaw in your system. It does not have the number 90. I know you have removed it save the complexity but as it been more then 10 years since you provided us with this, I am sure you have evolved yourself to get the 90 in the tickets.
Also 2nd major flaw is that there should be only 6 tickets in a page of Housie or 12 with 6 in one column side. The major key point here is in the set of 6 tickets all the numbers 1 to 90 should be covered once and not repeated.
Can You resolve these 2 issues.
Awaiting response.
Yeah, unable to get number 90 due to complexity, kindly guide regarding how can we get the same.
Thanks Chandoo - That's an awesome application.

Hi ,

Hello Chandoo,
I'm not able to open the file in Excel 2019. It give me an error.
"Excel cannot open or save anymore documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space."
Kindly advise.
Thanks.
Hi There,
I want to get 12 tickets of Housey Game in horizontal A/4 size paper.
Please provide that or please inform if I can modify your Housie Ticket Generator, which provides 3 x 8 = 24 tickets per letter size paper. It is too small to handle.
Regards
there are duplicate numbers generated in your tickets
Hey Kirti... If you press F9, it will make new numbers. Just use the set that works best for you.
That's useful. Thanks.
just i would like to know
how to draw tambola tickets in excel or in ms word
hi chandoo,
your bingo ticket generator is awesome....
In this lockdown period finally I have found the solutions of not gettling any column blank and comes number 90 also in your bingo ticket generator....
This is really awsome. But there is one More rule that was not followed
Tambola sheet have total 6 tickets per page. And in first colom of 5
6 tickets that is 18 cells 1-9 are randomly filled
I mean to say doubling of number shud be there in one sheet of 6 tickets. As usually every one buys full sheet. If this can be solved it would be perfect generator never seen in simple.way
Hope i am clear. Uou can contact me 8125535581, oshiyaevents@gmail.com
This is awesome! Many thanks
Hi,
This is great, I cannot thank you enough .. it really was helpful for our family over these past few months.
Missing number 90 is slight flaw, but it's easy to add that in
FYI, we also discovered a free iPhone app called, "Bingo Cards & Tickets" which was also pretty helpful for my daughters

Thank you again

Hi Chandoo

Hi Chando,
I am trying to make picture bingo in James Bond items but need some advice how to achieve this . I have the information to do this on a
5 x5 formate but that is in vba.
Hello, chandoo this trick is tried and tested. Thanks for updating the useful content.
Need a little help i am customising the excel and i need that the every 6 tickets rows don't repeat the same no.
its a nice program but one last logic is missing. If you see any Tambola ticket book you will find all 90 numbers in any set of six tickets in a page. so please modify the generator program to get sets of 6 ticket at a time with all 90 numbers included in it. All other random number logics are ok
this is just great ! will it generate 700 all different random tickets? i need that many
I want to create 1200 housie tkts ! Every 6 tickets must use all 90 numbers! And I want to change the background of the tickets! Also , I want to color some of the empty boxes! Is that possible ?
