Extrapolating Custom Scale tables

I'm trying to avoid swiching between custom scale types.
Sometimes I have to use a table to linearize a sensor and sometimes I can use a simple linear scaling. I've tried using 2 point inputs  to the table to give me a linear scaling, but the table will not extrapolate beyod this. Should I just calculate out the +/- 10V input points to give me a full scale or is there a simpler way?

If i understand correctly...
I don't like using a table, it is not... scientific
From the table you can find the equation, that describes your sensor.
If it's not linear you get a second order or a third order equation.
You can do it easily in Excel or Labview.
Then you can use that equation...
