For the first part: do you want to have a slider which when moved alters the
value in a cell?
Use View | Toolbars | Forms and drag the slider onto the worksheet; size and
position it
Right click the slider and give the box "cell link" a cell reference such as
A1
Set the Min and Max values as needed

If you want decimal values: click cell to A1 then in A2 use =A1/100 for
example

best wishes
