Hi all, Is it possible to determine the time(x value) at which a nonlinear function reaches a specific value. The curve is nonlinear. How about curve fitting to exponential curve. How could the command fit and fitoptions be helpful in finding the x value ? Please guide

Why would you need to approximate a given function using another (exponential) function, and only then solve for a time?
Use fzero, assuming that you already have a function.
Is it that you only have data points? Then you will need to postulate a model. How can we know if an exponential is right for your problem though? Only you know that. Anyway, if so, then you already know you need to use fit, so wtp? read the help and examples for the curve fitting toolbox.

I don't understand why you are having a problem. Just use fit. I assume the fittype will be exp1.
At that point, it is basic algebra.
divide 100 (your target) by a.
take the log.
divide by b.
Do you not know how to extract the coefficients from a fit? Use methods to tell you what methods are available. Something like coeffvalues as I recall will do the trick there, but methods will tell you.
