Best Answer

Small solution for dummies like me

  1. Right click each trendline » Format trendline » Display equation on chart

    enter image description here

  2. Open wolframalpha's sub site for Intersection points of two curves/lines

  3. Back in Excel copy both formulas by double clicking them and paste them over to wolframalpha. (Note to me: Replace commas through dots)

    enter image description here

    You get the x-coordinate

    enter image description here

    and calculate the y-coordinate yourself by taking one of your two trendline formulas and insert your just calculated x value

    y = 1.64 x 0.52245 + 0.034 = 0.890818
