Sheet3

These are data for 3 countries over 30 years. They data were normalized based on a much larger dataset. That is why the values are so low. But so to show change over time we'd like to renormalize/index (not sure what the proper term is) these data with the country-year that has the highest value in THIS dataset displayed as '100', and all others as fractions thereof. So in this case, =MAX(R2:AE4) is 0.000047 (AA2, or China in 2015). Is there a formula that can adjust all of these values proportional to that value? I see here how to do that when the MAX is in the first column/first row with data. But how to do sthg similar when the 'base' value that should become 100 is in another cell, and you want to get the ''right' values in all cells both to the left AND the right?

So visually - in this picture, the highest 'peak' across all datasets would get '100' on the y-axis, and all other data points would get fractions thereof.

And also what is the proper term of this transformation? Thanks!
