If then

I have a tabulated dwg, 15 sections which encompass a diameter (D) +/-.003 and a location (Y) +/- .005. Measuring 4 flutes with varying taper. I have created cones at each section, intersected a circle/cone diameter.

Question: How do I get the the "BEST" diameter at a given Y location. I tried IF/THEN but failed miserably. And I am trying to stay away from inputs, if possible

Can't post dwg, but here is an idea:

SECTION____ LOCATION Y_____ DIAMETER
A-A_________ .653____________1.158
B-B_________1.653____________.923
C-C_________2.653___________.844

Can you explain what you call "the best" diameter ????
Sorry if I don't understand (looking at my location could help !)

Good question... I suppose what I am referring to is, What if one is out of print while the other is in print. Example, one section view cone/circle showed the diameter out of print .0025, but the dia at nominal was in print. I believe this is due to the very minor taper at that view (1.5° over .010 length)
