Default Growth Trend

project the revenue in years 2 through 4 by interpolating the

five-years revenue projection should fill the range B7:F7


I think you are saying that you want to compute the annual compound growth
rate, then use it to estimate the intermediate years. If B7 is 3,500,000 and
F7 is 5,200,000, then put the following into C7 and copy across through E7:

=B7*(1+rate(4,0,-$B$7,$F$7))

HTH.
