Time to compress fluid in cylinder

[byxrube]

I have an application where I need to determine the time needed to compress a gas in a piston cylinder arrangement a given distance (ie. the time for the piston to travel x inches). Would anyone happen to know the methodology and equations used to find this?

Using spreadsheet for numerical integration is limited to the maximum number of cells in a columns. A problem such that may need more integration steps than the number of cells in a columns.

you're not done, you've only found a small enough time step to make the errors so small you don't see them any more. Nobody has solved for time yet. Can we end this wild goose chase soon?
