Calculating Angle To True North?
Jan 6, 2013
I'm attempting to calculate the bearing of a vector linking two sets of Easting/Northing coordinates and while I've found no shortage of equations online that should provide an answer, none seem to work in my excel sheet. The data comes from the southeastern hemisphere (i.e. Outback Australia) and my answer is needed in degrees to true north.

I have a list of 3D landmarks, and I'm trying to calculate angles and distances between specific combinations of these points.I hit a complete wall when trying to use excel to calculate out those equations. way input these equations?
Distance equation --> distance between points A and B = sqr root of [(Ax-Bx)^2 + (Ay-By)^2 + (Az-Bz)^2]
This person (see the link) posted the excel equation, and I spent a long time trying to follow it, but can't make sense of it! [URL]
I have attached a summary of the excel I have, and exactly what I'm trying to calculate.
Summary:
1. What is the excel equation to calculate the distance between two 3D coordinates (x,y,z)?
2. What is the excel equation to calculate the angle formed by 3 3D points (again, with x,y,z coordinates)?

I am using a spreadsheet to determine if students are meeting Growth Targets between a pre test and post test.
Here is my formula
=If(D8>=C8,"yes","no")
D8 is the Growth Target and C8 is the Post test Score.
After doing this, I need to calculate the percentage of Yes results. This year it will be easy, as it only applies to 25 students. Count the yes's and multiply by 4. Next year, it will apply to number in the neighborhood of 150 students.
Here is a sample
PreTarget Post
Student 15778 82Yes
Student 25369 91Yes
Student 35778 75No
Student 45778 68No
Student 55369 50No
Student 63761 50No
Student 74061 68Yes
percent of yes's

I have a userform, on it is a very large command button with a picture of a map loaded on the button. The button is 500 width(X) by 500 height (Y), so the center of the button would be at the location 250 (X) by 250 (Y). The button is coded for mousemove to get the X,Y cooridates and when you _Click the button a textbox gives the distance to the point(mousemove) from the center of the button. All that is good, but now I'd like to find the degree of the point referenced to a compass, ie, if the point is at 250 (X) and (Y) is less than 250 then the point would be due north at 0/360 degrees and if the point (Y) is greater than 250, it would be south of the center of the button. I hope this make sense. It's been a long time since trig. I've been searching but can't seem to find the correct formula to figure this out.
Here's the other problem, I'm doing this in powerpoint so I'm not sure if cos or tan functions are loaded in this program. I am posting this in the xl forum because I figure that's where most of the people who could figure this out are. If this is in the incorrect forum I can try to move it,

I have a worksheet where I have around 300 rows, each with 7 columns. What I want to do is add a checkbox to each column. I plan on setting non-applicable checkboxes to mixed status and locking the worksheet. I will unlock applicable checkboxes and sumif or countif their value according to row-based scoring, for example, each checked checkbox represents a value of 3. I do not know VBA and have chose to use the form control checkboxes rather than ActiveX.
I believe that a formula for this would be something like: =SUMIF(B1:B3,True,"3") or =COUNTIF($B$1:$B$3,True)*3
I am wondering firstly if I have that right and secondly if there is a way to stop my checkboxes from displaying labels. Currently, if I click on one it displays True behind the active checkbox. If I uncheck it, it displays False.

I am trying to Sum lines of info with "True or False" and "Yes and No". I would like to assign 1 to True and Yes and 0 to False and No when I total the rows. Never tried this in Excel, on Lotus and the formula does not work. I can find and replace, but I would like to be able to use a formula.

I'm currently using a formula which is exactly what i want but i need it to do something additional.
The formula is: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Level 1 ",$I:$I)),$K:$K,"")
My understanding of this formula is that the cell the formula is in then searches column I for the value "Level 1 ", if it's true it returns what is in column K, if false then it returns the cell blank/0. This is a great function and works well.
What i want to know, is there a way to add another rule on to it that instead of returning the value blank/0, it finds the next cell in the column that has a TRUE value and omits it instead.
For example:
At the moment it shows:
Level 1A
Level 1B
Level 1C
(Blank Cell)
Level 1D
(Blank Cell)
Level 1E
But i want it to show like this:
Level 1A
Level 1B
Level 1C
Level 1D (Replaces blank cell with the next TRUE value)
Level 1E (Replaces cell that previously had "Level 1D" in it to the next TRUE value seeing as "Level 1D" is now above)
I don't want the cell to appear as blank.
In column K, i would only have the data for "Level 1 ", i can then copy the formula to other columns for "Level 2 " and so on. I don't need it to return the cells in alphabetical order, just the next true value in the column that matches the values in the reference column.

I am trying to compare two columns (store names) to verify if a store purchased a certain product. column a is all our stores and column c are the stores that got the product. the formula i am using is: =OR(EXACT(A2,C2:C93)) in column B and it returns a true or false value. However, when I copy the formula down column B, not only does the A value change, but so do the C values. How do I keep the c2:c93 portion of the function the changing, while the a2 goes to a3, a4, a5 etc.?

I have two cells, each with month values in them.
In the first, C3, the full date is entered in format dd/mmm/yy. In the second, C5, the month is entered in full, say "November".
I want in C7, to have a formula that tells me when the month part of C3 is the same as either the month in C5, or any of the other quarter ends starting from that month.
So for example, if November is in C5, then my four months would be November, February, May, and August. If the month part of C3 (=MONTH(C3)) is equal to any of these months. I want to have to enter only one of the four months though!
Is there a formula that allows me to do this?

I want to lookup a value using * and ? and have the result tell me whether all possible values have a "yes" next to them.
Let me explain. Example.
If I have this in table1:
Records Yes/No adfcjks7as Yes 91521cg N/A 215a786 N/A 9194215g Yes 2154a6 N/A 614asdff No asdf562 Yes as895as Yes a5s5d8d6 No
And I type *as in cell A1
THEN I want cell A2 to lookup "*as" in Table1[Records] and determine if all possible records have "Yes" next to them in column Yes/No. The result is "ALLYES" if its true or "NOTALLYES" if its false.
In this example the result is "ALLYES" because adfcjks7as and as895as are the only records that *as applies to and "Yes" is next to them in the same row. If there is only one possible value then it still applies.
Of course * and ? will be used in different arrangements to find possible values.

In Column A I have the following values below.
Y
Yes
N
No
Questions how do you created a formula, Example If Cell A2 = Y or Yes Cell B2 will be 1, if not then 0.
Currently I was successful in writing this formula =IF(BB2="Y","1","0") but this formula only returns the value for Y, not Yes

I've collected some GPS data of an athlete running and want to quantify both the number and duration of individual sprints.
In the attached xls file, there is a column for time, speed and another that returns whether the speed column is >18 kph or not. False is <18, sprint if >18 kph.
Each entry with a "sprint" means they are sprinting (running above 18 kph) and each entry is 0.2-s. Thus 5 entries added together = 1-s.
I want to know, not the total number of sprint entries but the number of sprint groupings for example.
false, false, sprint, sprint, sprint, false, false,false,false, sprint, sprint, false = two seperate groups of "sprints". I would therefore conclude that the athlete sprinted twice.
I also want to know the duration of the sprint for each of the groupings. For example based upon each entry being 0.2-s, the first sprint grouping would total 0.6-s and the second grouping 0.4-s.

I have two groups of numbers. The first group is x amount of rows and each row has 6 numbers. The second group is x amount of rows and each row is 7 numbers.
Each number from the first group needs to check to see if it exists in the second group. If it does exist, the cell should change to a highlighted cell, or switch to an 'X' or something else that identifies it has been matched. Note: Numbers may be duplicated in both groups. Is there an easy way to do this, or will it involve programming? I'm attaching an example of the "group" setup.

Is it possible to use the IF formula and if the result is true, to run another formula and if the result is false put a "0" in the cell???
Here is an example...
In cell A1, I have an amount of money.
In cell B1, I have a quantity.
In cell C1, I want to use the following IF formula:
=IF(B1>0;((A1)*(B1)*0.15);0)
At the present time, when I do this, when the result is true, I see ((A1)*(B1)*0.15) in the cell instead of what that formula should give.

I am trying to do is develop a electronic visitors log in excel that has three statements visitors must read and accept before they can enter. I have a userform with date/time, name etc, then the three buttons that open another user form with the statements for them to read and 2 command buttons (Accept and Decline), Accept takes them back to the log-in userform and Decline closes all forms.
The problem I am having is I can’t get the checkbox on the log-in form next to each statement to go true when the accept button is clicked for said statement. I would like to disable the checkbox on the visitorsignin form so the only way it goes true is from the statement form.
I hope I explained myself well enough for someone to understand what I’m trying to do, the code is not finished yet either, still waiting for signature pad to come in so I can paly with it and figure out how to incorporate it into the file.

Either one would work I just can't figure out the name of an empty cell. So I'm looking for this with the right word in the formula. =if(A1="blankcell",true,false)
