Hi folks,
Without going into detail I have the following problem. I use a quite complex worksheet that calculates many X Y and Z values to a .csv document that is used by another department to do whatever with.
Recently it has been decided that the base line 0 for each value will be changed and I now have to rescale several thousand values from the old to the new.
Old X 0.0 will now be 4.00, old Y 0..0 will now be -1.00 and old Z will remain at 0. The old scale increased/decreased by 0.10. However the new scale will increase/decrease by 0.02



Old XNew XOld YNew YOld ZNew Z

0.904.180.9-0.820.90.18
0.804.160.8-0.840.80.16
0.704.140.7-0.860.70.14
0.604.120.6-0.880.60.12

0.404.080.4-0.920.40.08
0.304.060.3-0.940.30.06
0.204.040.2-0.960.20.04
0.104.020.1-0.980.10.02

-0.303.94-0.3-1.06-0.3-0.06
-0.403.92-0.4-1.08-0.4-0.08
-0.503.90-0.5-1.1-0.5-0.1
-0.603.88-0.6-1.12-0.6-0.12
-0.703.86-0.7-1.14-0.7-0.14
-0.803.84-0.8-1.16-0.8-0.16
-0.903.82-0.9-1.18-0.9-0.18
-1.003.80-1-1.2-1-0.2

What I want is a formula that can take the old values and convert them to the new? I could create a lookup table but original values run into +/- four digit numbers?

Am I asking the impossible here?

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Your formula is basically:
=new_baseline+old_value*0.2
so:
New X = 4+oldX*0.2
New Y = -1+oldY*0.2
New Z = oldZ*0.2
