    Calculating X axis of a graph using a varying parameters

    Hi,

    I have a calculation used in the booked for required thrust (Answer shown in pink). This value changes based on a number of parameters as shown. These can't be hardcoded into the thrust equation as they have to be changable. I would like to make a graph showing Velocity on the x axis and then the required thrust for each velcoity value in the y axis. Is there any way of using a formula / even VBA to automatically calculate the thurst values using the given equations over a range of values?

    Since there are mutiple things that can be changes I'd prefer to not just copy the equations across for each value of V

    Any help would be very appreciated

    I'm not sure why you are resistant to the idea of designing a spreadsheet so that you make copies of the desired calculation. When I want to calculate "y" at multiple given "x" values (no matter how complicated y=f(x) might be), I almost always prefer to arrange the spreadsheet in a way that I can program the calculation once (usually into a single row or column), then make copies of the row/column.

    Having programmed the spreadsheet as it is, probably the easiest way to get what you want without revisiting the design of the spreadsheet is a data table: https://www.excel-easy.com/examples/data-tables.html You should be able to use the information in G2:G4 to create a column of velocities, then build a data table that will calculate thrust at each of those velocities.
