Dim varLinEst As Variant

Dim arg1, arg2 As Range

Set arg1 = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Enter dependent variable data", Type:=8)

Set arg2 = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Enter independent variable data", Type:=8)

varLinEst = WorksheetFunction.LinEst(arg1, arg2, True, True)

'This routine erases previous worksheets named LinEst

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In Worksheets

If ws.Name = "LinEst" Then

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Sheets("LinEst").Delete

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End

End If

Next

'Adding a worksheet named LinEst

Sheets.Add.Name = "LinEst"

Sheets("LinEst").Select

'Calculating and placing the linear coefficients in two cells of the new worksheet

Range("I3").Value = WorksheetFunction.Index(WorksheetFunction.LinEst(arg1, arg2), 1)

Range("J3").Value = WorksheetFunction.Index(WorksheetFunction.LinEst(arg1, arg2), 2)
