Excel Interpolate Table



Hi Guys,
  1. The following Microsoft Excel formula performs linear interpolation by calculating the interpolation step value. A present or future value table.
  2. As you can see, this also produces for splines, the interpolated results you're looking for. I don't have ready access to Excel's Analysis Toolkit, so I don't know if Excel's includes splines. If not, LO Calc will run in Windows and it's free. This covers the approaches you can use to interpolate the intermediate values.
I've recorded engine data and two of the variables recorded were engine speed and coolant temperature. To determine friction torque, the table below needs to be used:

Excel Linear Interpolation Linear interpolation in excel means forecasting or guessing the upcoming next value of any certain variable given on the current data, here we create a straight line which connects two values and we estimate the future value through it, in excel we use forecast function and a lookup function to do a linear interpolation. Linear Interpolation in Excel Let’s take a look at how to perform this analysis on some real data. The table below lists air density as a function of temperature in 20 degree Celsius increments. If we want to get data at any temperatures other than those in the first column, we’ll have to interpolate.

The values in the main body of the table are friction torque. I would like to be able to calculate friction torque for a range of engine speeds and coolant temperatures. I think I have to interpolate the table to do this. How do I interpolate the table on Excel?
Below is a small sample of my spreadsheet. I would like a formula to calculate the friction torque by using the values in the engine speed and coolant temperature columns, and then using the table above. Any suggestions?
