I would like to do a lookup and interpolation based on x, y data for the following table. I'd like the equation to be as simple as possible to reduce the amount of possible errors. The full table is about 50 rows x 30 columns. I have about 20 of those tables. Here is an extract from one:

   A       B      C    D 
1        0.1    0.2   0.3 
2  2.4   450    300   50
3  2.3   500    375   52
4  2.1   550    475   55
5  1.8   600    600   60

For example, the equation should find the value for x = 2.27 and y = 0.15
