Highly technical issue: I have a spreadsheet that, among other things, contains street addresses. I need to determine the driving distance between pairs of addresses. From within Calc, how can I use a site on the internet (i.e. Open Street Maps, Google Maps, MapQuest, etc.) to determine the driving distance between two such street addresses? I suspect that I will need a user defined function such as DRDIST(from, to) to accomplish this but I don't know how to go about writing such a function.
With A1 containing the address 2345 Weldon and another address being hard coded as 4453 N Ashcroft I envision invoking this function as =DRDIST(A1&", Fresno, CA", "4453 N Ashcroft, Fresno, CA") and the result, in miles, would be something like 5.2. (Both of these addresses where I lived as a child no longer exist but I use them as examples of how the function would be invoked.) It would be great if someone already has a function to accomplish this task and if it can be shared with me. If that is not the case, then I will probably need a lot of assistance to create such a function which can then be shared with the LO Calc community. -- Jim -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
