How to calculate Driving Distance Matrix on Excel using Bing Maps API

[@lucastavares3470]

You have help me a lot ! I’m making a cost sheet , using Kilometers from every city from state of São Paulo

[@YogeshSureka]

Very structured & elaborate explanation. Must watch for all aspiring learners.

[@srinivasannarayanaswami5378]

Thank you Hemanth. Lucid explanation and a very useful tool. Much appreciated

[@HEMANTHHEMU86]

Thankyou sir

[@leroyjenkins5679]

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

[@fulyaulutas4599]

This is exactly what i needed. Thank you for explaining very clearly

[@sudheerkumar6427]

Good work Hemanth Boddapu... expecting more videos from you..

[@himanshushukla3454]

Thank you Hemanth for such insightful videos

[@ssaravananp1]

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

[@blue0152]

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 Hemanth, this is a wonderful video. It really saved a huge amount of time for me.

[@sohamdsouza]

Great work Hemanth !

[@aphastus]

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!

[@HEMANTHHEMU86]

Hey.. the issue with mac is that excel in mac cannot talk to internet. Pls try with windows. I've mentioned the same in the description box

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

[@Gabriel-Oliveira]

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!

[@HEMANTHHEMU86]

yes 144, that's correct

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

[@HEMANTHHEMU86]

time is given by Bing, based on the traffic data. just like Google provides on estimated time.

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
