Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Needle Gauge Chart Calculation
Thanks for this Dave, what is the purpose of the offset function you used. thanks On Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 11:27 PM, David Grugeon da...@grugeon.com.auwrote: OK. first I find the number in the dial which is the greatest number less than or equal to the required value. I use match to find how far down it is from J2. This number goes in P7. Then I find out the chart value and corresponding angle for that lower amount and these go int P8 and Q8 Next I find the next value (which will be the chart indication above the lowest amount greater than the price). This goes in P9 and Q9 Now we can interpolate the actual price by calculating the excess of the price over the lower price as a proportion of the gap between the prices. This is used to calculate the angle required (or more precisely the scale value required for the needle). All this is done in the formula in Q11. The formula in Q11 could be expressed the angle for the lower threshold +(the price less the lower threshold)divided by the difference between the upper and lower thresholds multiplied by the difference between the lower and upper angles. Let me know if this is not clear.
