coordinates of a point
 

i drew an XY scatter with a smoothed line connecting between points. how can
i find the value of a specific point on my chart.
for example, i want to know the corresponding x-value of a y-value that i
have.

coordinates of a point
 

Not that there's any physical meaning to that smoothed curve Excel draws,
but it comes up often. The curve is a Bezier, and Brian Murphy has figured
it out:

Hello, I have the same problem: I have completed my chart, but I thought I
could somehow enter a value for the x-axis and the program would interpolate
off the chart to find the y value. That's what I need. Thanks

If you can live with piece-wise linear interpolation, see
