    azimuth from two points on a grid

    anyone know if there is a straightforward formula for figuring out the azimuth and dip based on the following two points?

    Point 1 (XYZ)

    1239.848 3169.079 302.443

    Point 2 (XYZ)

    1243.823 3166.507 302.292


    Thanks in advance

    Re: azimuth from two points on a grid

    Thanks Olly, an ancient one indeed some of the links don't exist. So I have in the meantime figured out the answer. Thought I should post it as I had some trouble finding it in the first place. So if the X co-ords are in C4 and C3 and Y co-ords are in B4 and B3 as below, the formula follows;

    Point 1 (XYZ)

    1239.848 3169.079 302.443

    Point 2 (XYZ)

    1243.823 3166.507 302.29

    =ABS(ATAN((C4-C3)/(B4-B3))*180/PI())
