Interpolation between two values over a range

Hi,

I want to interpolate two values in Excel.

The first value is in cell "A1" and has the value "0". The second value is in cell "A20" and has the value "1".

I now want to interpolate the values in cells "A2" to "A19" in such a way that a linear straight line is created between the values "0" and "1".

The particular problem is that the cell numbers between "0" and "1" are not always the same size. Sometimes there are e.g. 10 cells between "0" and "1" and other times there are e.g. 25 cells between "0" and "1". Each interpolation has a different number of cells between the value "0" and the value "1".

Is it possible to create a formula that automatically takes into account the different numbers of cells between "0" and "1" and calculates the interpolation between "0" and "1"?

Many thanks for your help.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

The title is still not great. Please use this: Interpolation between two values over a range.

You can try this, In B1, copied down as far as needed.

It will be messy if you try to have values AND formulae in column A.

In Germany you may need to use ; instead of ,

You're welcome.
