I am creating a template/form for a table and a line chart that represents the data in the table. This is for progress monitoring in a school system. The table includes 37 weeks (columns). I want to add another row for a Goal line. The goal will increase each week (column). It would be really nice if there was a way to provide the week one goal in B11 and the week thirty-seven goal in AL11 then have excel auto-populate the values in between in equal increments. The reason for this is that the same table and line chart could then be used for a variety of progress monitoring tools with varying goals.

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
If the lower goal range is in B11 and the upper goal range is in AL11, then enter the following in C11:

=B11+($AL11-$B11)/36

Copy and paste across from C11 to AK11. Do not copy it to AL11, your upper goal range, or you will have a circular reference error.

THANK YOU! It works perfectly.
