  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Given any two xy coordinates, this function will interpolate or extrapolate, linearly, to return the value of y for any known value of x. If the pair of points define a vertical line, or the first point is duplicated, or if one or more of the required entries are missing, the function returns the word "error".
