How can we create more complex trend lines in Calc, like the Polynomial
line in Excel?

Polynomial regression type is not implemented. You need to calculate it 
outside the chart and then add it as data series.

You might want to use an extension. Find more details in
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=20819

Kind regards

Mike,


I checked to day Excel 2016 and the main difference is that OpenOffice 
does not have a + Symbol.

Okay, maybe when you have the Graph selected, then you need to double 
click, to be able to manipulate the Graph itself.

And then you can select the line you want to add the trend line too.

And only then you see the trend line in the Menu.


By now I found the wiki article too:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide/Editing_charts


Hope that clarifies.

Best

Peter

Which Version do you use?

In 4.1.7 you can

1) select the Dots you want to add a trendline to.

2) right click

3) in the Menue select the trend line

4) select the Formula you want to add

5) if you click again, you can add the trendline formula to the trendline.


I hope this helps.
