Excellent hemant, just one observation though - Since api keys have limits, every call is precious. Hence filling only the upper half of the diagonal would have been wise. Also from efficient programming perspective it is important
Dear Mr.Hemanth, It was a useful App. We have around 25 rows and columns in our Application. The macro works correctly upto 12 rows and columns. From 13th row and column, there is a difference of at the least 2 Kms. Please guide us. Regards, S.Saravanan
THANK YOU! You did miss that input for Source and Destination coordinates. Also you could have clarified the best way to get the coordinates in the database tab. OTHERWISE, this is an excellent video and I really appreciate it!
Hi there! Thank you for this great piece of code, it helped me a lot. However, i'm having a small issue. The code was running perfectly well yesterday. However, men reopening the xlsm file today, and trying to use the getdistance function, I get the error: #NAME?. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
Wow I tried not knowing if it’d work because I’ve never coded in VBA and I did a couple mistakes that I was able to detect and understand watching my code and yours (mostly cells placements). I used the time instead of the distance. It is incredibly satisfying watching the code fill all the cells in the matrix. I started in Mac but the getdistance formula didn’t work. I’ll try it later to see if something wasn’t correct. What bugged me is that every version of office uses different separators, you used a , and I had to change it to a ; so probably it’s the same problem with Mac. Anyway, thanks so much for the video, it was so nice!
Hey Great work! I used your code for two years now. But with the change to Azure Maps I don't get this think working anymore... can you make a new video where you explain how to use Azure Maps API instead of Bing Maps?
right now the calculation automatically grabs the shortest distance and not the interstate distance. how could I change the VBS Module to show the shortest interstate distance? But thank you very much for this so far
Excel returned #value! when computing for the Distance. Followed the procedure. Concactenate and keys are correct. May i know if this is common issue and if it can be resolved. Thanks.
I think error is due to the concatenate function. I used the cancat function but Hemanth used the & sign while getting the X Y coordinates....Kindly explain the destination and source coordinates please.
I was having the same issue. It happens that I use metric system in my pc, in which the decimals are separeted with a coma, not a point. I changed these parameters in the options tab and it worked!
Very simple, in the code i have attached, towards the end of the code, there is a phrase "//TravelDistance". You need to replace it with "//TravelDuration" and remove 1.609 multiplier
@@younessfrichi2156 Hello!! I also want to calculate the travel time. Could you please give me some reference coding for calculating the travel time instead of travel distance?
Hello Hemanth, this is really very helpful and a great tool - thank you for that! Can you also advise, on how to get coordinates (latitude and longitude) back from bing maps for given locations? This would be very helpful, in case you need coordinates for many addresses (comparable to the list of locations you put into the "database sheet"). Many thanks for any advice! Karsten
Hello, I found your video very helpful for my project, I am a master's degree student. I had some issues linking the geographical coordinates to the distance Matrix like you did, can you explain to me or send me the excel file you did the demonstration on UA-cam? so I can refer to that to build my own matrix? Thank you your help will be really appreciated.
In the code i have given, there is an equation similar to the one i have pasted below. Just replace this line with the existing line to get a more accurate reading. GetDistance = Round(Round(WorksheetFunction.FilterXML(objHTTP.ResponseText, "//TravelDistance"), 3) * 1.609, 2)

hi Hemanth, thank you very much for sharing such an useful tutorial, great work. I would like to know whether you have a tutorial for calculating air distance
Also, one more query, what is the base for calculating travel time - like is it based on speed limits of the roads or peak time / off peak time traffic on the roads
This works perfectly, Thank you so much Hemanth. When im working on a larger data set it takes quite a lot of time for it to fetch the distance, is there any work around for that? TIA.
Hi Mr. Boddapu. Firstly, I really appreciate the time you spent recording this video. It was really important for my understanding when it comes to create a distance matrix. I have a question, if I have 12 locations, I think the total number os distances would be 144 (12*12) instead of 66, am I right? Cheers from Brazil!

in excel you can write the location in a cell (es. Rome), than select the cell that contain the location, go to data-->data types-->geography and extrapolate latitude and longitude clicking on small icon that appears next the location cell. In a third column you can use the function =concat(cell latitude, "," ,cell longitude) and you have the coordinate of location
