In the Output Options section, you have the opportunity either to have the result of the regression analysis put on a new, blank page in your Excel workbook, or to be located on the same page as the data. To locate the result on the same page as the data, click in the button labeled Output range, and then click in the box to the right of that button to move your cursor there. Now, click on a cell that you want to be the upper left hand corner of the output and that cell location will be put into the wizard. Click the OK button and the result of the regression analysis will be located in the spot that you have chosen.
