Hello,

If I understand correctly ...

in cell B16 =VLOOKUP(B15,$A$2:$C$11,2)-VLOOKUP(B14,$A$2:$C$11,2)

in cell B17 =VLOOKUP(B15,$A$2:$C$11,3)-VLOOKUP(B14,$A$2:$C$11,3)

HTH

Does this work correctly?

Hi,


Can help me on this question.


I'm trying to use vlookup to calculate the distance between two points.
I need to be able to choose any point I wish and type that into cell B14 (starting point). Then the same thing for the end
point in cell B15. The difference between eastings and northings of both slected point will be display in cell B16 and B17.
The distance between two points will be displayed in B18. Distance is =SQRT(B16^2+B17^2).

*What should I put in cell B14 and B15, it still give #VALUE !
