Hello. I found Excel formulas and VBA coding to calculate distance between two Lat / Lon coordinates using both the Haversine and Vincenty methods. However, these formulas don't take into account altitude.
Does anyone know of any resources that include altitude in the calculations? I have found a couple of threads that discuss translating to Cartesian coordinates, but those calculations rely on an average earth radius (Great Circle Approach); which affects accuracy. This is the best thread I have been able to find on this discussion.

Thanks in advance.
