Default Interpolating an x, y point from known x's and y's

You can use the FORECAST() function to interpolate as well as extrapolate.

Hi

This is probably a simple task and it is my own lack of experience in
Excel -- I would like to derive a y value for an arbitrary x value from a
array of known x's and known y's for some unknown function y = f(x) a la:

known x, y
0.123, 4.567
0.257, 10.4567
0.4321, 20.3241
0.703, 10.345
0.804, 2.345

say I want to derive a y value for x=0.5 from this data set using a linear
or higher order fit -- is there an appropriate worksheet function for this
or do I have to resort to programming?

Many thanks in advance.
Steve
