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.
12 lip 2024 · When dealing with the surface of a sphere, we use the Great Circle Distance to calculate the shortest distance between two points. The formula is: d = rcos -1 [cosA.cosB.cos(X-Y) + sinA.sinB]
31 gru 2023 · We will apply the basic arithmetic formula, the Euclidean formula, the Haversine formula, and a VBA user-defined function (UDF) to calculate the distance in Excel. We will use Cartesian coordinates for point distance and GPS coordinates for the distance between two places.
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.
15 lip 2011 · To calculate the Great Circle Distance between Location 1 and Location 2, where the coordinates are in decimal degree format, use the following formula: =RadiusEarth*((2*ASIN(SQRT((SIN((RADIANS(D71)-RADIANS(D72))/2)^2)+
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:
This uses the ‘haversine’ formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points – that is, the shortest distance over the earth’s surface – giving an ‘as-the-crow-flies’ distance between the points (ignoring any hills they fly over, of course!).
