POHow can I plot the points of a curve?

Body
copied!<p>I'm not great with Math at all and so-so with Excel. I have a requirement to calculate a series of values to apply as an offset for a price schedule. I know what I basically want to achieve with the offsets and how I want them to change across span of values but I don't know how I can plot these values or something close to it in Excel. For an idea of the curve I'm roughly trying to create you can plot these values:</p> <pre><code>0 20 30 35 38 39 39.5 40 40.5 40.75 41 41.125 41.25 </code></pre> <p>Or if you don't want to use excel you can take a look at this chart image: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nRweO.png" alt="screen shot of chart of sample data above"></p> <p>Now it was easy to quickly create that by entering some values and tweaking them to get a shape I roughly want, but I need 1000 data points! In other words, instead of the 13 point I provided above I would need 1000. This would be crazy to try and do manually.</p> <p>I can think of two possible options:</p> <ol> <li>Create the range of values with fewer points, then somehow extrapolate that data set into more points. Maybe extrapolate isn't correct but essentially convert 10 points of data into 1000</li> <li>Interactively draw a curve and then have it plotted to values within a defined min/max range</li> </ol> <p>I've tried googling for help but I'm just coming up with tons and tons of "how to plot your data" sites - I need to work from the OTHER direction ;)</p> <p>Thanks for any help or tips.</p>
