Hi!
I am trying to challenge myself to learn new features of Excel, but have into some difficulties. Would appreciate any help on this matter.
Imagine a city with 100's of buildings. I know the x and y-coordinate along witht the height (z-value) of a set of lets say 10 skyscrapers. They are not placed in a grid, and the x/y-values therefore seem random. I would like to be able to plot a random x/y-coordinate and get the corresponding height (z-value), to estimate the best "fitting" height of a new building based on the nearest skyscrapers.
I am basically trying to find the z-value of a any given x/y-coordinate, based on the nearest known points - see the illustration below. I know the coordinates (x,y and z) to every black dots in the figure. Based on these values, i want to estimate the corresponding z-value of a given x/y-coordinate. Ideally, i would like to be able to plot the green surfaces in a 3D plot/graph along with the red point (with the correct z-value). From what i have been able to find so far, it seems quite difficult in excel - do any of you have any great ideas?

I have attached an example file.
Thanks in advance!
