I'd recommend checking out VALUE_LOCATE function. Overall, solving the
proportion in a triangle will be the simpliest approach (unless you want
to do a more sophisticated spline as suggested by Martin), but
VALUE_LOCATE eliminates the need for subtracting and finding near-zero
elements of the array.
Also, once you have X, there is a library function INTERPOL that will
take X for input and locate the interpolated value for you.
Cheers,
Pavel
