Hey people!

I kind of need some help with a formula I'm trying to put together for a spreadsheet but I am having some difficulty with it.:(

The basic problem is this, I have a table (below) which I need to interpolate the vales from but I am unsure as to how to do it in excel.

Aspect Ratio | 1.00 | 1.6 | 3.00 | 5.5 | 7.5 | 13.5 | 20 | 30 |
Force Coeff | 1.26 | 1.3 | 1.35 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7 | 1.8 |

Thats the basic table (I hope it displays ok)

I was trying to make it work using the IF function but that wasn't working out well :rolleyes: any advice people as I'm really quite stuck on this!!!

Potential reward if you can sort it out :eek:

Sorry i didn't really clarify that, its a linear interpolation e.g. If I had a value for the aspect ratio of 1.3 the force coefficient would be 1.28.

Its for wind loading on a sign (exciting stuff I know!)

Thanks for any help

I realise that there isn't a simple why to sort this but I do need it in excel the interpolation actually isn't a problem for me but I am trying to design a spreadsheet that will perform a number of calculations and this is just 1 in a step of about 30.
 
Hey guys thanks for the effort I have now sorted it by using the Vlookup and basically writing out all the values of the table to 2 decimal places.

Thanks a lot!
