Which is what I did in one of the above examples and what you call the perfect distribution. OR you can apply a POWER trend-line. But dependent on your first data points this is not always what you want. Cheers :-) Dennis Hey Steve,

The hardest part for me getting that red trendline to show up in Excel. I'm assuming it is not a trend line but a perfect Zipf distribution. Can you explain how to create the perfect fit line in Excel? Many thanks, Steve Hi there,

I’m learning about this long tail and log scales and Zipf distributions. The hardest part for me getting that red trendline to show up in Excel.
I’m assuming it is not a trend line but a perfect Zipf distribution.
Can you explain how to create the perfect fit line in Excel?

Many thanks,
Steve

I tried this double-logarithmic chart on data of one of our customers and here we go: a straight line!

This was just a first try for me, but a great way to show the customer where he´s gotta lot of work to do.. perfect!
