Given operators X and Y acting on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}$, an interpolating operator is a bounded operator A such that AX = Y. An interpolating operator for n-operators satisfies the equation $AX_i=Y_i$, for $i=1,2,{\cdots},n$. In this article, we obtained the following : Let ${\mathcal{H}}$ be a Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal{L}}$ be a commutative subspace lattice on ${\mathcal{H}}$. Let X and Y be operators acting on ${\mathcal{H}}$. Then the following statements are equivalent. (1) There exists an operator A in $Alg{\mathcal{L}}$ such that AX = Y, A is positive and every E in ${\mathcal{L}}$ reduces A. (2) sup ${\frac{{\parallel}{\sum}^n_{i=1}\;E_iY\;f_i{\parallel}}{{\parallel}{\sum}^n_{i=1}\;E_iX\;f_i{\parallel}}}:n{\in}{\mathbb{N}},\;E_i{\in}{\mathcal{L}}$ and $f_i{\in}{\mathcal{H}}<{\infty}$ and <${\sum}^n_{i=1}\;E_iY\;f_i$, ${\sum}^n_{i=1}\;E_iX\;f_i>\;{\geq}0$, $n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}$, $E_i{\in}{\mathcal{L}}$ and $f_i{\in}H$.
