    Interpolating Y-values on a Line Chart

    Hi All,

    I have a list of bi-monthly "pricing". (1/15 $100, 1/31 $112, 2/15 $108, etc.)

    I also have a set of "trade" dates (1/18, 1/28, 2/11, etc.),

    Is there a simple way to MARK (as a scatter plot) the Y values, without having to populate each and every "gap" between the bi-monthly pricing?

    Because the pricing ranges about 5+ years, I want to avoid having 365 * 5 columns..

    Thanks in advance

    You probably could create a name (press Ctrl+F3), and use it as a source for additional series to be plotted on a graph.
    See The dynamic formula method part here: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mic...arts-in-excel/ to see different task, but using the same mechanism.

    If that is not enough, and more step-by step instruction is needed, consider attaching small sample/dummy file and give some suggestions about interpolation - just linear?

    PS. I'd personally probably just insert these few extra columns (possibly hidden). It is a kind of "small pain - big gain" solution :-D
