Desired output is the latitude and longitude coordinates for the location which is most proximate to all of the input coordinates. Is this possible w Excel?

I appreciate any help, suggestions, etc. Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Yes, the calculator in Post #13 seems the perfect fit for my query. Thank you.

Now, I'm realizing my ideal solution is a little different than what the Min Weighted Average Distance method will produce and, before I attempt to apply the calculator to my data, I wonder if it might be possible for the results to indicate Lat and Long coordinates for all locations which are no more than X miles (or, even better, X minutes of commute time) from my input locations?

I continue to appreciate your consideration and input!
