Trend line.

Hi Experts,

Please look at the attached Excel file.

It represents sale success rate (1 = sale and 0 = no sale) plotted against budget allocation over or under spend. How can I plot a trend line to show the correlation of amount spent to sales success. Common sense tells me that there is never a zero or definite chance of success so the answer is going to be non linear. Sales.xlsx

If you plot the excell date you are not going to get a trend line. If you put sucess on the y axis you will just get a horizontal line going between 1` and 0.
Just exactly what does the first column represent. To me over or under leads me to expect a + or -.

The first column represents the the amount over or under budget spent to get the sale. Each sale is allocated a budget of 20,000 if exactly 20,000 is spent perusing a sale then 0 will appear in the first column. If 18,000 was spent then -2 if 23,000 was spent then +3. If you look at the bottom of this column you will see the negative spend amounts.
