Haversine formula is used for finding distance between to points, if latitude and longitude for both points are known.

Formula:

ACOS(SIN(Lat1)*SIN(Lat2) +COS(Lat1)*COS(Lat2)*COS(Lon2-Lon1)) *6371

Excel formula:

=ACOS(COS(RADIANS(90-Lat1)) *COS(RADIANS(90-Lat2)) +SIN(RADIANS(90-Lat1)) *SIN(RADIANS(90-Lat2)) *COS(RADIANS(Long1-Long2))) *6371

Note:

Replace 6371 with 3958.756 if you want the answer in miles.
