    <p>Greetings everyone, I have 2 sets of points in excel (group A and B), each set has around 1000 entries that contain lat/long. What I want to do is compare Group A against Group B and figure out for every point in Group A what point in Group B is the closest. What would be the easiest way to do this in excel?</p> <p>One solution I started working on is a macro that will compare the 2 points against each other.</p> <pre><code> Sub distance() ' ' distance Macro ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+d ' Range("D4:E4").Select Selection.Copy Sheets("Analog Data").Select Range("F3:G3").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Range("D3:E3").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Sheets("Cluster 58").Select Range("FT4").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Range("D5:E5").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Sheets("Analog Data").Select Range("F3:G3").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Range("D3:E3").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Sheets("Cluster 58").Select Range("FT5").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False </code></pre> <p>Now how can I tell visual basic to set the ranges to go to the next one down so I do not have to type each individual one all the way down to Range("D1237:E1237")?</p>

    1. COYour code is pretty much a useless mess. (Sorry!) Why don't you show us an example of what you have as an input, and what you want as a result. Then we can help. For starters: no, you don't have to type each individual one down to 1237.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
