    Sliding Scale

    I was hoping for some help creating a sliding scale. I have looked around a bit, but could not find anything like this, they all seem to be tax bracket or commission examples. We are given a score and have to match that score to a percent increase based on a lower limit and upper limit. What is the best way to create this in Excel?

    Example:
    received score of 6.75 what is the percent increase?

    The minimum score is a 4.5 which is given 2% and maximum score is 6.99 which is given 3%.

    I think on a sliding scale they should receive somewhere around 2.78%, but we have to do hundreds of them. What is the best way to calculate this in excel? TY

    Hi

    With A1 = score = 6.75
    A2 = Min = 4.5
    A3 = Max = 6.99
    B2 = 2%
    B3 = 3%

    B1 %
