Intercept Math in Excel

But who knows... maybe you'll be able to piece something together that will help you.
Thanks for the Excel sheet. I had to open it with Quattro Pro then save it for the year of my Excel.

I'll try to figure out all this information, and your diragrams using your special tool and the information in the spreadsheet. However, it looks quit complicated for me.

I will send you my re-designed spreadsheet.

Yes, I realize that's why the Navy has a Manouvering board. I bought some of those sheet, but I find it combersome to use.

Thanks Rob
