Tu use this spreadsheet, just select points in column C by inserting a =Bn, n being the row number
You can change the sample function. This is a simple y=ax3 function with a bit of added noise
To modify the spreadsheet code, go to the VB editor. Please note that named ranges are used.
You will also notice that arrays are redefined at each function call which makes calculations very inefficient.
For details about Lagrange Interpolation, see for instance the Wolfram MathsWorld web site.
