Lookup & Find The Distance
Apr 2, 2009
I have a distance grid with place names down column A and along Row 1 with distances in the middle. I then have a place name in cell A1 on sheet2 and a distance in cell B1 on sheet2. Ideally I want cell C1 on sheet2 to lookup the place in cell A1 on Row1 of the grid on sheet1 and then find the distance in B2 in that column before displaying the correspoding value from Column A on sheet2. I've tried various Match and Index functions with no success.

I have attached a spreadsheet with a small amount of the data I need to use. This is the distance between customers in kms. I need to be able to have excel look up the cell reference for distance between two customers though they will not always be the same customers every day in the same order.

Havent used a spreadsheet in ages and i'm having a fun time here. Cant seem to get the right formula for what i need. Here is a brief explanation!
I have a grid (not related to excel) of 999 by 999 squares.
The center is basically co-ords 500|500.
Upper left would of course be co-ords 001|001
Upper right would be 999|001
Bottom left would be 001|999
Bottom right would be 999|999
Now, here is what I am trying to do:
I want to have 3 squares chosen out on a spreadsheet I have made . .
1) here i put in the start co-ords (ie: 500|500)
2) here i put in the destination co-ords (ie: 505|510)
3) This is the fun one!!! ... And where I need the help!
I need a formula to put here that will tell me the number of squares I have to cross to get from one to the other!

Is it possible to find the minimum distance between two points using two separate lists of different lengths without creating separate columns of equal row sizes
? I am trying to find the shortest distance form one point to another which is a fixed value. I am using the standard distance formula: =SQRT(((X2-X1)^2)+((Y2-Y1)^2)+((Z2-Z1)^2)).
My X1,Y1, Z1, has 2,000 rows in three columns that need to be compared to find the minimum distance from my one row/column of X2,Y2,Z2.
Is there a command that could go through and use each row of the X1, Y1, Z1, while looking for the MIN of the above formula without having to create an equal amount of rows for the X2, Y2, Z2?
I know I could do it by running this out the long way and then finding the min after I do all the math but I am wondering if there is an automated way for Excel to go through and do the forumla and then only return the MIN value?

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 have created a sheet that shows distance between coordinates. Also working on something to put them in order of the closest point. I used a fixed point to find the nearest coordinate, but since i'm using a fixed point it doesnt go the order I want it to. I have attached the excel file I am working on.

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'm sorting through a list of business executives and trying to classify them by their titles to sort them into functional areas, but I'm ending up having to use just a giant nested IF statement, and there has to be a better way of doing it.
Not everyone has a uniform title, so I'm using FIND to look at the title and find particular search strings. Basically it's this, over and over again:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Operation",A1)),"Operations/Manufacturing",
Where the title is obviously in A1. I can easily assemble a VLOOKUP table, but I don't know how to combine this with the ISNUMBER(FIND aspect of this.

I have a formula in a worksheet that lists equipment in inventory. It looks at another worksheet of service work orders and verifies that, if work was done on a particular unit, do a look up and post the latest meter reading recorded on a work order for that unit.
My formula works fine unless the latest work order doesn't have a meter reading posted yet, so it returns a zero - overwriting any previous meter reading that was stored there.

I need a formula, from which I need to drag (if needed) and to fill with numbers, by following principles:
- when the left cell contain the zero, it needs to find on the same column if there exists another zero, or another one and count them, let's say if find three zeros untill find number one, return 3.
- when find a number 1, after another 1, has to return a zero.
- the formula need to initialise from the top of the column, only finds the first number 1.
I have a relevant example down bellow. I used to count them visually and sometimes errors sneak into my spreadsheets.

I want to know the minimum distance between customers that I visited in each day.
If i visit customer 1, 2 and 5 in one day, which distance is smaller? 1-2, 2-5 ou 1-5 and what is the corresponding value?
I have in columns DATE, CUSTOMER 1, CUSTOMER 2, ..., CUSTOMER 5 and in each row I put the Day and 1 or blank for each customer (visited / not visited). I also have a mileage chart for each customer in another sheet which is the source for my distance data.
I tried INDEX and MATCH but all I get is ZERO... I think it is comparing the same CUSTOMER.

I am wondering if there has been something made that is able to measure the distance between 2 cells if there is a barrier between them. For example, say you want to measure the distance between A1 and C1. If there were no barriers, the answer would be 2 cells, but say there was a barrier (a wall) that ran from B1 to B3. The distance would now be 8 assuming you cannot move diagonally, or 6 if you can move diagonally.

I wrote a code to make all my charts and it made but all charts stocked together
P.S : "The red part in this code is my try to make a distance(space) between charts but it doesn't work"
Code:
For u = 1 To o
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(303, xlColumnStacked).Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("sheet1").Range(crgf(u), crgl(u)), PlotBy:=xlRows
ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementDataTableWithLegendKeys)[code].....

i use a Trimble Total Station Survey equipment, This is used for suveying and measuring distances between points on jobs. These points can be exported onto the pc as a text file and imported onto excel, the file has a northing and easting to locate the point these are comma separated.
I would like to know if excell is capable of working out a distance betwen two of these such points by using the two pairs of northing and easting coordinates. The maximum distance between two points is no more than 50 meters. If for example when imported onto excel point 1's coordinates are locted in cells A1 and B1 and points 2's coordinates are locted in cells A2 and B2.

I have a row of dates, with variable start date, each being one week apart, starting in cell T5 (say T5 = 4/12/06, U5 = 11/12/06, V5 = 18/12/06 etc). The last date is in cell AE5. I wish to loop along the range and find the date that today’s date (say 21/12/06) falls in (answer = 18/12/06). And enter that date in cell Q2.

I have 1551 rows of port distances, as shown below.
From To Distance
Abu Al BukhooshDalian 6097
Abu Dhabi Jamnagar929
Ain Sukhna Gibraltar2026
Akpo Field Inchon9755
I have a list of 206 ports. I want to build a matrix of Port distances with the names of the ports (206 names) on the first row and column and the distance from each port to every other port. I understand that the 1551 rows of data that I have is not sufficient, but those are he only significant ones. For the missing records I would like to put "zero" in the matrix.
Also, Once the matrix is built, how can I use it to find the port pair distance when the user inputs two port (From port and To port)?

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)?

this is normally a very simple thing to calculate and I know how to calculate for speed, distance and time or SoDiT as we learnt at school..
I have a period of time where a distance in feet is covered. Lets say 1 hour 25 minutes to cover 12,600 feet, just over two miles.
What I need to solve for in this case is not speed exactly, but how long it takes to cover 10 feet in this scenario.
I start to do the math in excel and then the formatting jumps when I set to hh:mm:ss and I get confused whether I'm multiplying or dividing by 60 and it all becomes a mess.

I have a excel sheet with city names in Column A, Distances in Column B, and Distances in Column C.
I wanted to write a formula so excel checks the distance between column C and column B and if there is less than a 10% difference between the two then it would copy the name of that city into another column D.

I have longitude/longitude points in which I would like to apply inverse distance weighting statistics to.
I would like to possibly create a chart with the results...
See link below for explanation of inverse distance weighting.

is there a function in excel or access that I would be able to use to achieve this goal?
