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.

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.
Some 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 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 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.

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.
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.
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)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to convert various codes from one column of an excel spreadsheet into different codes in another column. I was able to accomplish this with "If" statements, however I'm only able to string together seven of these statements in one command. Is there a better way to add formulas for more than seven conversions? Below is a copy of what I've done so far with the seven converts:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("WARN",J2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("PSSNAP",N2)),"Sales",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("WARN",L2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("2699",L2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("4004",L2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("2036",L2)),"Warning",""))))))
I want to add about 15 more codes to convert within this formula but it's maxed out in the format I'm using.
I have entered a lot of functions mainly VLOOKUPs. I want to write VBA codes for the functions without manually writing them. Is there a way in which I could get the manually written functions converted to codes automatically?
If n = 5, then I want to generate a string like this: "1+2+3+4+5". Similarly, if n = 7, I want the string "1+2+3+4+5+6+7".
I can generate the consecutive numbers, but have not figured out how to generate the required string.
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
I 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.
I have two columns, zipA and zipB. There are over 7000 rows and I need to calculate the distance between zipA and zipB for each row (so the result should be over 7000 rows of distances (in miles)). I posted this in the programming board because I figured it would require some. I don't have any add-ons.

At my last job we purchased a zip code addin from spheresoft that could give you a distance between two distance ie: =ZipCodeDistance(zip1, zip2)
This worked well but I am now at a new job and wondering if there is any data out there that could help me build my own sheet. I just need California
I have both zip codes now just need the distance, I could sit down, drink a ton of coffee and enter zip codes all night into Mapquest but am hoping for a better way.
I have a spreadsheet containing data in coloumns A to L.
Where all the codes in column B are the same then a border must be placed around all the codes that are the same i.e the border must start in Column A and end with column L.

I have written a VBA code.
I thought I could just save it as an ADD-IN and then have my colleagues to add it, but that does not work. The macro will be stored in a seperate workbook and that is not what I want. I want them to be able to open any workbook and want them to be able to run the macro. I.e. everytime they open a workbook the macro should be available and be ready to run.
VLOOKUP returns incorrect results when comparing zip codes across worksheets. I think the problem could be caused by 2 things:
1. There are duplicate rows in the lookup_value range because each represents an individual and needs to remain a duplicate to show whether there are multiple individuals from the same zip. In these cases, VLOOKUP only returns the first matching zip from rows containing duplicate zips. (See 07042 in worksheet 1 of the file linked below.)
2. Zip code format is not being treated as a number during sort. Do I need to use a different format during sort? Don't want to lose the leading zeros on the zips.

I have a database where each subject has data for 4 days and a number of different codes each day. I am looking to calculate how many different codes they have on day one, how many unique codes they have on each subsequent day and the sum of all these codes.
For example, in the data attached:
Subject 10002 = 2,1,0,0 (3)
Subject 10005 = 3,1,0,0 (4)
Subject 10009 = 3,1,1,0 (5)
I have an excel workbook with two worksheets. The first worksheet contains a lot of data with more than 20.000 rows and 20 columns. The important part is that there are two different columns (column F and I) containing codes of items. What I would like the macro to do is the following:
write codes of items in the second worksheet column B under each other. I would like the macro to lookup the codes from this column in the first worksheet (column F and I) and if it finds then display in worksheet 2 column C the column in which found it on worksheet1. So basically I write on worksheet2 column B many many codes and then I press a button to do a search and displays next to the items (in column C) if it found the code in worksheet1 column F, or column I or both, or did not found it.
I have the following seven codes used to fill a ListBox with data retrieved form a range (DACNRange).. they are almost the same .. the only difference between them is the range column number (highlighted with red). Instead of these seven similar codes, Can we create a general code replaces them all?

I need the zip codes to be pushed to the next column, to column 'D' to be exact. I already tried using the "text to columns" function. I selected "delimited" file type and used "2". it pushed the data to the next column everytime there was a 2. The problem is, there are 2's in the middle of the zip code sometimes. Also, it gets rid of all the 2's. Also, I can't use the "fixed width" option because there are some city/states that have more letters in them obviously, so the column is not a perfect width.
I am just thinking if there is a way to delete or hide all vba codes as I dont want readers to see them.
