EXPONENTIALSMOOTHING(Array, DampingFactor, NewTableFlag)

  • where, is the input array or reference to the cells containing array
  • is a corrective factor that minimizes the instability of data
  • is a logical value that decides whether to display the output in the same worksheet or a new space cube.

EXPONENTIALSMOOTHING() predicts a value based on the forecast for the earlier data points, by adjusting the instability in earlier data points.

Description

EXPONENTIALSMOOTHING(Array, DampingFactor, NewTableFlag)

  • Exponential Smoothing is a technique that can be applied to a set of data, either to produce smoothed data for presentations, or to make forecasts.
  • should be array of numbers.
  • is the exponential smoothing constant referred as α. Value of α should be greater than '0'.
  • If < 0, Calci displays #NULL error message.
  • Smaller the damping factor, more smoother are the projections.
  • If is omitted, Calci assumes it to be '0.3'.
  • can be a logical value TRUE or FALSE. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be FALSE.
  • If is TRUE, the result is displayed on new zspace sheet.

Need to check the functionality of NewTableFlag after next release

Examples

Consider the following table with Columns A as data point and Column B as array input for MOVINGAVERAGE() function.

Period Array Input
0 0
1 45.5
2 60
3 200
4 160
5 300
6 340
7 310
8 500
9 566
10 610 
=EXPONENTIALSMOOTHING(B1:B10,0.2,TRUE) returns the following table:

EXPONENTIALSMOOTHING
