Find The Distance Between Two Locations

* Latitude and Longitude are measured with degrees

ACOS( SIN(lat1*PI()/180)*
SIN(lat2*PI()/180) + 
COS(lat1*PI()/180)*
COS(lat2*PI()/180)*
COS(lon2*PI()/180-lon1*PI()/180) ) * 6371000


[I used this formula to check the distance between two locations when I created a Field Mobile PowerApps]

Comparing VLOOKUP and INDEX-MATCH

Image
When working with Excel, especially with large datasets, the ability to efficiently find and retrieve data is crucial. Two common lookup tools are VLOOKUP and INDEX-MATCH . While both can achieve similar results, they differ significantly in terms of functionality, flexibility, and performance. Let's break down the key differences to help you choose the right one for your tasks.

Uses the combination of INDEX (returns a value from a specific row and column) and MATCH (finds the position of a value in a range). Syntax =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup]) =INDEX(range, MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_range, [match_type])) Direction of Lookup Left to right only. Flexible: left to right, right to left, or vertical. Column Inde...
