Spreadsheet Nerdery
In the unlikely event you ever need a spreadsheet cell to tell you what level someone’s 3rd or 3rd-and-a-half D&D character is based on their experience points, this should do it (in Google Docs Spreadsheet):
=FLOOR( (SQRT(ABS(-1 - (8 * CELL-CONTAINING-XP/1000) ) ) + 1)/2, 1)
You’re welcome.
