21 gru 2022 · Last updated: Dec 21, 2023. This tutorial will demonstrate how to find Great Circle Distance using the Excel formula. When we are dealing with the surface of a sphere, we need to calculate the shortest distance between two points. We can find this shortest distance by using the Great Circle Distance formula.
As found here by BrianAdkins, this Excel formula to calculate distance between two latitude/longitude points works for me both in LibreOffice Calc and Microsoft Excel 2013: =ACOS(COS(RADIANS(90-A1))*COS(RADIANS(90-A2))+SIN(RADIANS(90-A1))*SIN(RADIANS(90-A2))*COS(RADIANS(B1-B2)))*6371
Excel Formulas for Distance. There are numerous Excel worksheet functions that will return an initial heading from one point to the destination point for a Great Circle path between them and similar formulas to return the distance between them.
28 mar 2016 · After much googling most of what I can find either relates to calculating distance, or calculates using an equirectangular projection. The closest I could find is the formula: θ = atan2( sin Δλ ⋅ cos φ2 , cos φ1 ⋅ sin φ2 − sin φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ cos Δλ ) which when using excel needs to be reversed:
