I know I said I'd like a curve but even a straight diagonal line would be ok as long as the total is the cumulative requirement.

So for my simple example the result would be 1000, 1100,1200,1300,1400,1500.

Thanks

Hi All

I need to be able to calculate values with a given value starting value gradually increasing values with a specific number of iterations to a required cumulative total....

For example start at 1000, calculate 5 additional values gradually increasing from 1000 that will give a cumulative total of 7500 and will look on a chart as a curve.

This is not to say I want to gradually increase 1000 to end up at 7500, but to end with a cumulative total of 7500.

I'm stumped so any help would be really very much appreciated.

Thanks
