I have list of address with zip code and Latitude and Longitude information. I am trying find a central locations, which will act as hub for rest of the address, by comparing distances from on locations to another.
Basically i need 2 things
1) How to identify the central locations
2) How to groups other locations around the central locations
Criteria here is distance
I have 2 different sets of data: temperature data recorded at meteo-stations defined by latitude / longitude, and major world cities also defined by latitude / longitude.
After the user chooses the station's coordinates, temperature data is pulled out from the first data set; this works! However, I would like to be able to provide information about the closest city to the chosen meteo-station from the second data set.
File attached with sample data sets.
I'm currently working on a project with data that includes columns for both latitude and longitude which I will need to convert from its current form into decimal degrees. The problem is that the coordinates are in the format DDDMMSS followed by a single letter indicating the direction, which means I have to first extract proper degree minute second format before I can do anything. Further complicating the problem is that each of the entries does not necessarily have all of the components I just described (eg some of the latitudes only have degrees and minutes but not seconds) and also if a longitude is less than 100 degrees, the third digit is not used in the data. There are over 2000 records so doing the conversion by hand just won't work and I've only got a few days to present this part of my project anyway.
I'm looking for a formula or series of formulas that will reliably convert something like 1083000W into -108.5000 when the last two zeros may or may not be there and the first digit may also be missing.
I currently have an excel file of around 40.000 records with their zip/postal codes accompanying addresses in countries all over Europe, I would like to convert these into latitude and longitude coordinates.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSome of the data I was given has latitudes and longitudes which are valuable to me but some of the information was entered incorrectly and the lat and long columns have only zeroes for some entries. I used some VBA to sort out all the ones that have zeroes in the lat and long columns because I noticed in a comments block some of them have the latitude and longitude placed in the comments instead of the designated spot.
An example of one of the comment cells is this:
Search and Rescue 30NM S MARTHA'S VINEYARD 40-37.4N 070-43.3W MEDEVAC OF 35YOM E
As such the problem I am having is figuring out how to search through the cells for ones that have a lat and long in them since there is other information and numbers in the comment cell. Keep the cells that have latitudes and longitudes and get rid of the rest. The red highlighted information is what is valuable to me. Another problem is not all of the latitudes are in that format sadly as can be seen by this example cell:
SAR Unreported Vessel/ 42 01. N 067 25. W CLOSED AREA II/041527ZAUG06
If anyone has any insight/references into how I could go about doing this I would pretty much owe you my life since doing it manually would take ages for myself and my group on this project.
I am using Excel to calculate distances from latitude and longitude GPS positions. These positions have a format as follows:
S36 39.113 E174 25.945
These have been imported into a column, and using VBA I wish to separate latitude and longitude into two other columns. In both cases the minutes will eventually have to be express as decimals of the degrees. I don't mind if numerous columns are used as stages to get the final answer which is 36.234678 in one column and 174.15567 in the other.
I have a list of 800 lat/long coordinates. I need to see how many of those 800 are within 3 miles of another list of 7,000 lat/long coordinates.
I have found the following formular to find the distance between 2 lat/longs:
=ACOS(COS(RADIANS(90-Lat1)) *COS(RADIANS(90-Lat2)) +SIN(RADIANS(90-Lat1))
*SIN(RADIANS(90-Lat2)) *COS(RADIANS(Long1-Long2))) *3958.756
Is there a formula that would allow me to run each of the 800 Lat/longs against the list of 7,000 and indicate how many on the original list have a match within 3 miles?
I was thinking a combination of countif with an array formula, but I can get the order of operations correct.
I'm using excel to try and sort by distance a list of wind farm locations from a location i put in.
This should be relitavely straight forward, however there are a few elements that make it more complicated.
I am getting a list of wind farm locations from the internet, the BWEA site. The latitude and longitude data copied over is in text. I'm using Excel '07 but it still requires me to butcher the numbers out of it with several columns of REPLACE formulas, it isn't elegant and may well be wrong.
The second and harder problem is that I have to first convert the latitude and lonitude values into OSGB grid references. So far i have found the OS maps excel converter, but it only converts one value at a time. I need something that will convert all of them at once (i don't want to go through and individually type in each distance).
After that it is possible to use basic trigonometry to find the distance between them and any grid reference i put in.
I have a spreadsheet with a column of Longitude values like:
A
172828.383E
I want to somehow split the cell into new individual cells so it will be like this:
A B C
17 28 28.383
I have more than 1000000 coordinates with heights to sort through. The aim is to be able to give a specific radius and check all coordinates within this radius if the slope is more than a maximum slope. If this is the case it need to put the value (in this case) 100 in a new column. The reason for this is we have a reasonable flat terrain but the entire area is filled with Anthills. I need to sort the data. Normal ground points (No Anthills) should be labelled/coded as 200 and anthills as 100. This will allow my program to know the difference between the ground and anthills. In the tab "Input Sheet" I have a small portion of co-ordinates starting from row 8 to row 53 (this will have to extend all the way down to the last row in excel). I need to copy each row starting with row 8 (C8:E8) and paste it in row 2 (C2:E2). Column H indicates if the points are forming an anthill and the code needs to change. I have my final answer in the tab "Final Answer" that I require for my program. Is there any way I can write a VBA code that will check all the point instead of doing it manually.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two lists of data that are next to each other an example is below:
A B C D E F g
1 Lattitude Longitude Speed Lattitude Longitude Speed
2 52.49 -2.97 30 52.49 -2.97 30
3 52.48 -2.96 30 52.48 -2.97 40
4 52.48 -2.97 30 52.48 -2.96 30
This table goes right down to cells 20099 so it is a huge set of data as you can see i have sorted both sets of data by latitude from highest to lowest.
My problem is that I need something that will go through the data and highlight locations that are identical with different speed limits. So if both the latitude and longitude are the same then compare the speed limit.
So in the above example cells A4 and B4 are the same as cells E3 and F3 and the speed limit is different so I would like this to be highlighted.
However if the Lattitude and longitude is the same and so is the speed limit it does not necessarily need to be highlighted
I can get this to work but only if the lat/longs that are the same is in cells next to each other. I do not know where to start if the identical locations are in separate parts of the spreadsheet.
In my workbook I have multiple sheets but I'm attaching a very simple workbook to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish. In my "Lookup" tab/sheet. I want to have known Latitude and Longitude data that will exist in columns A&B. Columns C & D will have address numbers and Street Name. I would like my lookup formula to find the longitude and latitude data from my "lookup" sheet, when the matching address information is typed in, in my 2009 sheet. I have to keep the street numerics and street name separate on this worksheet as well. I believe I'll need two separate lookup formulas as I need these formulas to start in cell G4 & H4 in my "GeoCoding1" sheet. Is it possible to have four columns of data to be viewed in a lookup formula? I tried this formula in cell G4 (GeoCoding1 sheet)

I need quickly identifying multiple locations based on their proximity to an initial location and each subsequent location selected. I have attached an example spreadsheet that is structured in the following manner:
Cell H2 is the 'initial' location that will be used to identify all subsequent locations
Colums A through C are location specific details including latitude and longitude of all 450 possible locations
Column D is a distance calculation based on the difference betwen the location in column A to the 'initial' location in cell H2
Cell F2 is the necessary minimum distance between locations(in miles)
Cell G2 is the number of locations needed(this will vary)
What I am trying to accomplish is to fill column H with the number of locations specified in cell G2 that are atleast the minimum distance in F2 apart from each other, like drawing virtual circles around the locations on a map.
I am pretty sure this can be done with a Macro, but am not sure if that is the best solution or not. I am a novice Excel user, so even though I don't know the solution, I can already see two issues:
1. Whatever the solution is, the reference in column D will need to change to calculate the distance for each subsequent location instead of staying absolute with cell H2(H3 for second location, H4 for 3rd, etc...)
2. With each selection that is made, any location less than the specified distance in cell G2 should be removed from any future choices for subsequent locations.
I have two tables. Table A has 13 columns and 641 rows. Table B is in a different tab within my excel file but is only one column with 216 rows. Starting with Table A I need it to look up for the value in Table B. If the the value is matched, meaning they appear in both tables, I want the cell highlighted in Table A.

i have 2 columns of data.
Column A is state

So lets say
A1 is florida and B1 is 29,000
I am trying for column C to tell me what values (and if possible the cooresponding state) are the 2 closest values above it and the 2 closest values below it in B1:B50. It can appear as a string of text like 27,000 CA 28944 (OR) 31000 (FL) 31200 (GA)
I'm am trying to extract latitude from a cell that has the longitude and latitude separated by a space followed by a space and addition numbers. Here are three examples:
-89.8498682 35.467965 0
-89.849981 35.468031 82
-89.8500404 35.4681497 107
I tried: =MID(B262,LEN(B262)-LEN(C262),FIND(" ",RIGHT(B262,LEN(B262)-LEN(C262)))) where B2 is the source and C2 is the extracted longitude and it seems to work some of the time, but here is an example of when it doesn't:
-89.8499246 35.468019 0-89.8499246 6 35.46801
Having the Zip Code Tabulation Module from the US Census Bureau, I have the following and much more. But based on the 3 items :
5-digit Zip Code, Longitude, Latitude.
I'm wanting to Select a Zip Code and have (let's say) several Zip Codes plotted (maybe 4 - 10) out from the center point of the map.
either with, or without a connecting straight line .
And possibly a Scalable Miliage indicator |---- 10 Miles ----| which would be based on the distance.
I have to manually cut/paste each excel doc which belongs to a specific Store folder, and copy then into their own shared directory, so for example:
Lets say my company has 10 Stores, and I know their online folder locations, the first step I guess would be for me to map the locations of each store, I am not sure what the best way to do this is, would I use the Case select ? to make the set = ?
So for example, Stores 1 - 10.
Set 1 = Dir("Z:Northwest1")
Set 2 = Dir("Z:Northwest2")
Set 3 = Dir("Z:Northwest3")
Set 4 = Dir("Z:Northwest4")
Set 5 = Dir("Z:Northwest5")
Set 6 = Dir("Z:Northwest6")
Set 7 = Dir("Z:Northwest7")
Set 8 = Dir("Z:Northwest8")
Set 9 = Dir("Z:Northwest9")
Set 10 = Dir("Z:Northwest10")
I am not an expert on Case Select, but was thinking:
Select Case myStores
Case Is = 1.......................

I have a spreadsheet on a server, password protected, and certain columns, rows locked...
This is shared with 6 others and can only be accessed one at a time.
If It so that when the user saves the spreadsheet it saves over itself on the server it's located AND on the individual users computer as backup; how would I go about doing this!?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have many spreadsheets that use shapes such as arrows and other symbols. The process for these spreadsheets is to move the shape (arrow for Ex) to indicate a specific location of pain or something like that.
Once the arrow is in position, the spreadsheet is printed to PDF and and a snapshot (in adobe) is "taken" and the picture (with the arrow) is pasted into our application.
My questions is how can I move the shapes back into position when you want to do it all over again.
When I have a few shapes I use
PHP Code:
Set sShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Right Arrow 6") 2
With sShape
.Top = 220
.Left = 91
.Rotation = 20
End With
For each shape
But if I have lots of shapes, 50+, it's a bit more cumbersome.
Can I loop through the shapes when I enable the macros to pick up the current positions and use that information when I do a reset (loop back again to move any shape that were touched back to where it was when the spreadsheet was opened?
Currently I have them close the spreadsheet without saving and just reopen.
I made an analysis table that shows a list of prices on a certain company. I have a table on one worksheet and I made a chart (from that table) on another worksheet. I'm using an in-cell drop down list on the table worksheet to change to different companies. Is there a way that I can put the same drop down list on the chart worksheet? Essentially, I want to be able to switch the company on either worksheet and have it change on both worksheets. I'd like to keep the chart and table uniform and running together.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to determine the net displacement between GPS locations and am wondering how I can easily code this in Excel. As far as I know, you need to calculate the distance between Point B to Point A, Point C to Point A, Point D to Point A, and so on. The following is the formula that I would use:
A
B
C
X_Coordinate
Y_Coordinate
123456
3700000
Point A
123460
3700010
Point B
Using the following formula (or setup), this is how I would calculate net displacement:
(123460-123456)^2+(3700010-3700000)^2 = (16)^2 + (10)^2 = 256 + 100 = 356
I assume if I want net squared displacement, I would square root this value SQRT(356) = 18.867
If my formula is correct above, I wonder why Excel gives me an answer for the following net displacement formula (same as above just using Excel formula): (A3-A2)^2 + (B3-B2)^2 = 116
Using this same formula, I could incorporate SQRT in as follows: =sqrt(((A3-A2)^2) + ((B3-B2)^2)), which results in 10.77. This value is clearly different than the value above (18.867) thus I wonder if I'm just mis-calculating something in Excel.

I have to select about 200 odd files from a folder, and move them to a different folder. The problem is, I have to manually select the 200 files from a list of approx 10,000 (not in order).
I have a list of the filenames (with extension) in an Excel Spreadsheet, and I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically move the files using an Excel macro or something?
example:
File location = C:EBDumped
and I need to move the 200 files to C:EBSent
So I would need to move ONLY the files where the file name is in the Excel list.
The file type (extension) is always the same, but the name (and length of the name) is different.
