Hello, I have a list of 'inputs' and i want to convert those on the second list named 'Desired Outputs', but i don't know how to do it? Inputs Desired Outputs 1 2 94 4 276 8 369 10 464 12 652 16 744 18 838 20 931 22 1111 26 Example, i know that the first number of the desired outputs will be 2, but from the second input '8' i have to make some arithmetics. I need to make a range between the current number less the before current number from the input list '94-1=93' this value will be divided into 50 '93/50=1.86=2' and for use this result i need to take it without decimals. Then, I'll use the before number from the desired output list which is in this case '2', finally '2+2=4', obtaining the next desired output, repeating this process to complete the desired output list. Thks for helping me. Filda
