Determine Net Displacement Between GPS Locations
Oct 20, 2012
I'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'm trying to be able to refer some kind of formula to a cell that will let me displace a range.
For example
Current Range: A1:A10
Desired Range: A2:A11
Reference cell: B1
What need to do is input numbers in B1 to make the range move. In the mentioned example, i input 1 and the range moves 1 position. And if i enter 3 the range would change to A4:A13.
My logical way to do it that did not work was:
=A(1+$B$1):A(10+$B$1)
Is there a way to do this or some similar way to displace ranges??

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!?

I 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.

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.
Is this possible using Windows XP with Excel XP?

HTML Code:
=100*($I2/AVERAGE(IF($B2=$B$2:$B$38129,$I$2:$I$38129)))
I have the above array formula which I wanted it to calculate the average of all products selling in each store, but it seems to be calculated each?
In column b I have the store number, column I is the sales, I want to average all the sales in column I for each store.
I have probably over complicated?

I have 1 list with two columns, where column A is the location (a 3 digit code), and column B is the name (a 4 digit code).
I have a second list with two columns, again column A is the location, and column B is the name.
I want to make sure the locations and names in the second list match what I have in the first list. If they don't match, I somehow want to flag this in a third column.

I am looking to do find the latest date in a list of dates but have several problems:
1) The dates are all in one column on worksheet 1, but are sourced from other worksheets. So even though it looks like '8/7/09', the value of the cell is 'Worksheet2!B4'. This is making the MAX function not work
2) How to deal with the blank cells in the MAX function?

Distance Calculations Example 1.xlsx
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 a spreadsheet where there are two drop down menus with various options. Based on those two inputs, my spreadsheet calculates a "savings" for each row. Now, I want to have cells that will keep a running total of each combination possible. I tried:
=IF(AND(A2:A37="OKC",C2:C37="AF33"),SUM(G2:G37)) but it didn't work...
A column is where you can enter 1st option
C column is where you can enter 2nd option
G column is where the savings results for those combination of inputs is populated.
I need a cell in say, J column, to sum all numbers from G column, where the combo of "OKC" and "AF33" exist.

I have 20 staff members that I need to schedule in half day shifts (AM & PM) across three different locations for the month of July.
I want to make sure there is no overlap/duplication for any one staff in a time slot. Nor do I want any one staff member to work an AM and PM shift in the same day.
Ideally, I would also like to avoid back-to-back shifts (e.g., not allow PM on Monday to be scheduled for an AM on Tuesday).
Lastly, I would like to have the number of shifts be be as equitably distributed across all of the staff members as well.
Any way that I can do this in Excel?

I would like to create a macro which will look at columns A,B and C. Based on A,B and C, I would like the macro to return only the unique combinations. At the same time, I would like columns D and E to perform a sum.
This is the original sheet:
******** ******************** ************************************************************************>Microsoft Excel - Trial19.xls___Running: 11.0 : OS = Windows XP (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutE1E2E3=

[HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name box
PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE! OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR.
This is what the sheet will look like once the macro I would like to create is executed.

I would like to create and Index/List of all the Hyperlinks in a workbood and the locations of those links. It can be a little as just the tab/worksheet the hyperlink is located. I can then import those links into a spider to check to see if they are broken or not.
The following code is close, but I need it to loop through the workbook and list the locations as well.
Sub test()
For Each h In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
With ActiveCell
.Value = h.Address
.Offset(1).Activate
End With
Next h

Trying to copy records from one spreadsheet to multiple spreadsheets located in different directorates. Although I can create multiple Macros to address the need, I want to use ONE MACRO that utilizes two variables to represent:
1) The targeted file directory
2) The targeted file name
Items 1) and 2) are stated in two cells within the main spreadsheet and as you can already imagine, these values change IAW the name of the target file.
This is what I am trying to do:
File cell A1 = "C:ORLOAcquisition"
File cell A2 = "target.xlsx"
Basically replacing the code below
ChDir "C:ORLOAcquisition"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:ORLOAcquisition arget.xlsx" , UpdateLinks:=3
with, ChDir ""A1"" Workbooks.Open Filename:= ""A2"" , UpdateLinks:=3
I was able to do it with target-spreadsheets located under the same workbook but my code does not work when trying to activate workbooks located in other directorates in the network.

I am currently trying to automate some excells workbooks that my company uses. The one i'm working on is a listing of all the change orders we have. Unfortunatly there are roughly a 1000 rows, each containing the information for the change- change #, Date opened, part numbers, change description, status, date closed.
Order 0001 - 10/22/08 - 0156, 7251, 9901 - delete bag - closed - [blank] -
Order 0002 - 10/22/08 - 0018, 0612, 0875 - add notes - open - [blank] -
What I want to do is type a part number in, it checks to see if there are any rows that already have that number and have an open status (as apposed to closed) and then tells me where the conflict is. so in the above example if I typed in 0612 it would tell me that number is already in use. I am using excel 2003 if that makes any difference.

I'm trying to pull information in one spreadsheet (SS1) from another spreadsheet (SS2). I've found that the following works, except when SS2 is closed. Is there a way to do the following formula so that it will work even if SS2 is closed?
=VLOOKUP(A19,A:H,MATCH("Column Header",OFFSET(1:1,MATCH("Row Header",A:A,0)-1,0),FALSE),FALSE)
Link A19 is the lookup value
"Column Header" is the column header we want to find
"Row Header" is the unique row header for the headers of the table
The Column Header could appear anywhere in Column A to H, and the Row Header can appear on any row in the spreadsheet!

I have checkboxes (from the control toolbox) in a spreadsheet next to text. When I am in the normal view everything is where it is supposed to be. But when I do a print preview the checkbox shifts and comes on top of the text that was at the left of the checkbox.
This form has to be presentable both on paper and electronically. So both views are important.
