Hi
I have a function I use in excel (I can post if you like but its quite a lot of text). Is there anyway I can call this in power BI or re-create this in Power BI.
the basics of the function is to check if lat and long co-ords are within a reasonable area of the postcode.
Snippet of function:
Function testCoords(PC, IRCLat, IRCLong)
Dim OC(578) As String
Dim LatMax(578) As Double
Dim LatMin(578) As Double
Dim LongMin(578) As Double
Dim LongMax(578) As Double
OC(1) = "B1": LatMax(1) = 52.495956: LatMin(1) = 52.472609: LongMax(1) = -1.894214: LongMin(1) = -1.922561
OC(2) = "B10": LatMax(2) = 52.477985: LatMin(2) = 52.459173: LongMax(2) = -1.828649: LongMin(2) = -1.877087
OC(3) = "B11": LatMax(3) = 52.472108: LatMin(3) = 52.443094: LongMax(3) = -1.826494: LongMin(3) = -1.881428
testCoords = "Valid"
IRCOC = Left(PC, InStr(PC, " ") - 1)
OcIndex = 0
For X = 1 To 578
If OC(X) = IRCOC Then OcIndex = X: X = 579
Next
If OcIndex = 0 Then
testCoords = "Invalid Postcode"
Exit Function
End If
If LatMax(OcIndex) < IRCLat Or LatMin(OcIndex) > IRCLat Or LongMax(OcIndex) < IRCLong Or LongMin(OcIndex) > IRCLong _
Then testCoords = "Incorrect Lat/Long"
End Function
