Default Variable-Length dependent formula


Hi all-

I have a specific (and I believe, difficult problem) I have an Excel
program that does several calculations on a data set that is an input
from another program.

Background: The basic gist is that I have a program that varies voltage
sequentially and measures the corresponding current. The program then
outputs these points in a text file seperated by commas. The user then
copies this information into the Excel sheet and runs a macro in order
to do all the calculations on the function.

Problem: Previously, all files were in the same format: for example, it
swept the voltage from 0V to 0.8V at 100 V/s, giving 800 data points per
segment. However, now, some of the data is different (0V to 1.6V sweeps
at perhaps 10 V/s, for example, giving 160 Data points per segment). My
last problem (there is a cut-and-paste part of the macro that I have
figured out how to cut-and-paste variable lengths based upon user input
of V/s and Voltage range) is that I have a portion of the program that
uses a simple formula for mathematically calculating the integral of
the 'function' that is represented by the data points:

(T2-T1)*X1+.5((X2-X1)*(T2-T1))+(The contents of the previous cell)

The problem is that this method relies on there only being a certain
amount of data points. Is there a way to adjust it for variable
length?
