@ Don Thanks you, I was in hurry forgot to usesprintf and I too noticed expected is 30.0001 and actual result is 29.99999
@faka please post your requirement clearly
Sorry, the real espected value there is 29.99999

But, 54.24425 - 24.24426 is +29.99999; not the +30.00001 you said you wanted. And the 3rd value you had in Variable is 24.24225; not the 24.25225 you said you wanted in the output.
Note also that your 1st message in this thread says that your input file is file1.text; not file1.txt. The script I gave you used the filename you specified.
Your latest set of revisions to the 1st message in this thread still has grossly inconsistent output. (Some lines have a trailing space; most do not. Some lines have two spaces as field separators; some have one space. The values in the Variables do not always match the corresponding field in your output file.
It looks like MadeInGermany's script captured most of the intent of your latest changes, but missed two points:
You added a new line at the start of the desired output.
Sometimes you want 5 digits after the decimal point in your output and sometimes you want 6.
The script below consistently only uses a single space as the field separator, does not add any trailing space, adds the new line you added as the first line of your output file, and adjusts the output to have the same number of digits after the decimal point as the longest input value for that line:
The output it saves in file2.txt is when your latest sample input is in file1.text is:

Don thanks for your help, but I have some problems with the results of the code.
I have added data to the original question to don`t get wrong answers.
In the real example I have a mix of text data in the file and in some cases have one word, there it`s a problem to the script however in the other cases with more than one word works printing only the variable value, not the operation result.
original data
file 1
Result of the script
Update: I haved modified the original source of your code and I get some differences.
result file
Update 2: I haved update the file1 to replace the space separator inter words with one _ and I get the right value in the output, how I can change the code to accept the space separator between words without limit of words before the number?
Thanks again

Another Problem
Im trying to get the variable value from an assignation of a cat of a file and I cant get the values inside the variable.
In awk -v Variable='value' where value cant load from
I have the variable with the values: example $NUMBERS='20.90000 21.45000 28.25000 29.35000 1.75000 2.75000 8.30000 9.80000 1.61520 1.67080 0.91100 0.89800 103.11000 101.58000 1.35140 1.36840 12.04630 7.73540 2.58430 2.13270 4517.90000 4325.33000 2.73300 2.73300 16097.33000 1225.98000 1225.98000'
If I add $NUMBERS to Variable='$NUMBERS' I get a problem I don`t know why.
If I do echo $NUMBERS I get in STDOUT the correct values.
Thanks in advance

Reason: Update
It is no surprise that my script doesn't work with your new data. This is a completely different problem from what you posted in your original message in this thread (in fact from any of the 12 different versions of that message). In your original problem, any line with three or more "words" on the line had a number as the last word and that word was to be modified by the list you supplied in the variable named Variable. So my script copied lines with less than three words to the output without changing them and made the change you requested to the last word on all lines with three or more words.
The fact that you have also changed your last message six times is also a bit disconcerting.
You say that the script isn't working with your new data, but you haven't shown us what output you want. You have 27 values in Variable and you have 30 lines in your sample input file that have a last word that is entirely numeric. How is the script supposed to determine which lines are to be modified? If you can tell me how to recognize lines that need to be modified, it can be made to handle any character you want as a field separator. But you have to CLEARLY describe your input file format and your output file format.
Note also that your 1st set of requirements had all replacement values with 5 digits after the decimal point and you wanted 5 digits to be printed after the decimal point for the values that were calculated and did not add any lines to your output file. Your 2nd set of requirements had some replacement values with 5 digits and some with 6 and you wanted the calculated value to be printed with the same number of digits after the decimal points as were in the replacement value for that line and requested that the line:
be added as the first line to appear in the output file.
Now it looks like you're back to only having 5 digits after the decimal point. Can the script assume that all computed values should be printed with 5 digits, or should it determine the number of digits to be printed based on the number of digits being used in each number involved in the calculation on that line?
Do you want any lines to be added to your output file? If so, what should they be?
When you have a variable that is to be expanded by the shell, it needs to be inside double quotes; not single quotes. I.e.:
not:
But, it would be more efficient to just let awk read the contents of your list of replacement values from the file that you are using to set the variable. What is the name of the file that you are using to initialize the value of $NUMBERS? Inside that file, is each value on a separate line, or are there multiple values on input lines? If there are multiple values on lines, what is the separator between values?
In the future, if you want our help, please post sample input that is representative of the input you want to process, clearly state the algorithm to be used to convert your input to the output you want, and provide sample output that EXACTLY corresponds to the sample input and the algorithm you specify. Constantly changing requirements wastes our time and your time.

Don, you are right in all that you sayed but I need the explanation of the script to handle the results and the input file learning at the same time. If I dont have any information about the script I cant understand clearly what are it doing.

Right also but itīs clear my last message its sometimes difficult to explain all the needs and a bit more in the first message, because the needs are not only one.

Don,the last message show the file what gets 27 values from a plain Variable='...0.00000....' and show in the output the 27 values from the variable in the right place that I was queried.

Simple, I want to replace ONLY the DIGITS and DOTS of the original file, not the text.

Don 5 or 6 decimal points are fine I need to know how parametrize this value also.

I donīt want to add these line.

I like to determine the decimal point based on the original value of the file but when the value in the variable are the same of the original or the calculation itīs 0.00000 I donīt want to show any in the output.

the file itīs named varnw1

The file only content the numbers separated by space between values itīs in one line all the values
