    Calculate Point of Intersection

    I have three lines defined by a simple data set. What I would like to do is calculate the point of intersection btwn lines 1&2 and lines 2&3. I've tried the intersectcomplex function but didn't get the right results. I've attached an example of the type of data I'm working with.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Calculate Point of Intersection

    because this function calculaltes the intersection with the y-axis.

    It makes a 2e order function first and than uses:
    y=ax+b
    a=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) and b=y1-ax1 or b=y2-ax2

    This way you can find x where y = 0 (zero) and that is x=-b/a.

    This does not help you, but is for information.

    Are your function logaritmic (exponential)? as you give only two points and use exponential axis!
    Looking for great solutions but hate waiting?
