Seems a good idea. Do you have a link to the maths behind such a
smoothing for a poor ignorant chemist?

After discussing with Emmanuel, I'll use the X values by default and add
an option to have XL behavior.

Also, if we add lots of methods in the graphs, we might want to have
some way to retrieve the values from the sheet ?
