range raxy = (rax,ray) creates an XYRange out of rax (column 1) and ray (column 2) where rax is the 'x' and ray is the 'y'. I could interpolate the other way by using range rayx = (ray,rax).

InterpolatedY = raxy(1) finds the value of Y at X = 1 in the XYRange.

InterpolatedY is a scalar value, so:
col(3)=InterpolatedY
will not do anything unless you have set a data range for column 3. You could set a cell in column 3 with:
col(3)[1] = InterpolatedY

Rather than the closest value, how about interpolating to get the estimated Y value at an exact X value?

range rax = [Book1]Sheet1!col(1);
range ray = [Book1]Sheet1!col(2);
range raxy = (rax,ray);
InterpolatedY = raxy(1);
