Have you tried something this: 100+(15/39)*(140-100)
100 being Jan 1 balance
140 being Feb 8 balance
15 being the number of days from the first data provider date point
39 being the total number of days between the first and second data
provider date points
That should give you the y "balance" for the widget.
