Hanno,
For the log sin cos table extract attached. The difference between the logs for 40° 20' and 40° 30' is 14. This works out to 1.4 per 1'. If the look up is lets say 40° 22' then the log would be 18.89 - 3 (rounding 2.8 to 3) = 18.86. No need to write anything down to do this.

sorry, I did not understand your interpolation method.I just cannot follow your compact notation.Could you please give me a detailed example?Also, I see I lost the original file logAB$$.xls, so I will have to recreate it.No issue, but patience please!
Just so you can pick from a bowl of cherries, I will take this opportunityto also create the normalized version I spoke of before.You will decide.
