In this video I show you how to calculate the distance between 2 cities anywhere in the world. My solution...

1. Converts the textbased city names to Geographical data types
2. Calculates the longitude and latitude values for the cities
3. Calculates the distance in miles between the 2 cities
4. Plots the cities on a map with a heading showing the city names and the distance

For full details see the timestamps below:

The formulas that I used in the demos:
=INT(ACOS(COS(RADIANS(90B4)) * COS(RADIANS(90B5)) + SIN(RADIANS(90B4)) * SIN(RADIANS(90B5)) * COS(RADIANS(C4C5))) * 3959)


=VALUETOTEXT(A4) & " " & VALUETOTEXT(A5) & ": " & CHAR(10) & B7 & " Miles"
