In mathematics, a spline is a special function defined piecewise by polynomials. (Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Add-in Spline function and Dydx func. [courtesy -ref. http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/excel-interpolate-cubic-curve
dydx :- Returns the first derivative of the interpolated curve at the given X using the defaults of Interpolate
Spline: Returns the Y which lies on the cubic (or natural) spline curve at the given X

I used "XlXtrFun.xll" for the SPLINE in Microsoft Excel.
NOTE: XlXtrFun.xll is a collection of functions which extends the
capabilities of Microsoft Excel, which was developed and distributed as

I have attached the necessary installation file and an example file.

The example file will show how we did the SPLINE for the expansion and
dy/dx and d(dy/dx).

I hope this will help.

If you need further explanation or help please let me know.

Below are the instructions:

Put XlXtrFun.xll wherever is wanted and use Excel's Add-In Manager to

install XlXtrFun.xll.

1. To install an Excel 2007 add-in, click on the Office Button, the big
round decoration in the top left of the Excel window.

2. This opens the Office Menu. Click the Excel Options button at the
bottom of this menu.

3.The Excel Options dialog opens up. Click the Add-Ins item in the list
along the left edge of the dialog to see the Add-Ins panel.

4.Make sure the Manage dropdown at the bottom shows Excel Add-Ins,
click the "Go" button. This brings up the Add-Ins dialog.

5. Click Browse, and use the Browse dialog to locate the add-in file which
is in this case- "XlXtrFun.xll".
