    Sounds like your run of the mill VLOOKUP. However this has limitations (the lookup needs to be in asending or decending order). Otherwise you can use a nested INDEX MATCH formula.

  • Re: scientific calulations using scattter and trendlines

    Hi Steve, Rather than use VBA, I've developed a worksheet only solution, using dynamic named ranges, LINEST linear regression function, datatables, index/match to pick out the best results, and finally solving the simultaneous equations and plotting!!
