Calculating total road distance and duration with google distance matrixes api
Hi,
I used a simple method to calculate route distance with these instructions: "Calculate travel time and distance between two addresses using Excel + Maps API" by chandoo
My problem is that i cannot calculate totals or actually anything with the results. Results appear on the cell as "2,3 km", but cannot be changed to number format to calculate totals..
They just appear 0 in my pivot, i dont know what to do.. Can you guys help??
Welcome to the forum.
Will you please attach a small sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.
1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
