I have a short summary table. I am trying to stretch it out to fill in blanks by interpolating between the existing cells.
I have a variable number of rows needed between each row of the summary table to the extended table. I am trying to make this with formulas so that when I switch to a different summary table it will adjust the number of rows between each and automatically drop down to the next row of the summary table for all the needed formulas across the extended table.
Another way to try to explain it is I'm using $ to fix cell positions in, say, 6 rows, but when I get to the next row in the summary I'll need to increment those $ down one to apply the formulas to the next row down. An then use that $ in, say 8 rows, before switching down again. I've uploaded a minisheet that does what I want to try to show it better.

This expands on one from before. Searching for 126 (highlighted in green) will return different rows depending on which age (row 28) column is searched.

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
The formulae were looking a little too complex so I've cheated by adding a worker column to give the rows concerned and then the actual retrieval columns Q to T become a simple INDEX.
