Default interpolation

Hi,

Try this, with your data in cells A1 to B16, put this in D1
=PERCENTILE(B1:B16,PERCENTRANK(A1:A16,C1,300))
Now input a value into C1 say 1.35 and D1 will return the
corresponding value interpolated from column B. If you reverse
the ranges it will reverse the return.

Please note that this approach will only work when both series
are in ascending order. If your data is fluctuating then you will
need to take a different approach.
