Need help entering cell formula

J

Jim

This shouldn't be all that complex, I've done this sort of thing before in
Excel, but I can't get this to work.

The LM19 is a temperature sensor that outputs a voltage. I wish to use a
few with my Hobo data loggers, which record voltage (milivolts) and then
downloads to an excel file. I need the formula to copy to the adjoining
cells to convert that value to temperature. I guess I am not suppose to
send a graphis here, but this is the link to the IC datasheet:

http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM19.pdf

The formula for voltage to temperature conversion is on the first page. I
have tried unsuccessfully to convert this to a cell formula, and have even
tried a calculator , step by step to find my errors, but to no avail. Any
help with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jim

Jim,
Remeber to convert mV to V, so your readings from the chart would look like:
mV V T
303 0.303 130.02
675 0.675 100.00
919 0.919 80.00
1515 1.515 30.03
1574 1.574 24.99
1863.9 1.8639 -0.00
2205 2.205 -29.96
2318 2.318 -40.02
2485 2.485 -55.03

Hope this helps.
