I am not sure how to do this if some one could tell me how to do the
formula I would appreciate it

I want to enter a number in A1 and have it represent a value in A2
The number in A1 would range from 1 to 150 and then number in A2 would
always be a set value as shown below
A1 A2

1 = 22
2 = 25
3 = 37
4 = 59
5 = 71

Thanks Peter

A2 is any of 150 possible values, depending on A1?

Hi Peter,

From your small sample, there isn't any obvious formula such as an
arithmetic progression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression)
or a geometric progression
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression). It might be possible
to contruct a polynomial expression to fit the numbers
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation) but you'd need to
build it based on all 150 values to make sure you matched them all.

It might be better to store the data in an Excel spreadsheet, and write a
Word macro (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/C...XLFromWord.htm) to
extract the value for A2 based on the number in A1.
