I am working on a Excel spreadsheet were I need to convert WGS84 to
UTM. I have seen it somewhere but lost it, the only thing I do
remember it wasn't an easy conversion if I can recall correctly.

I know there are many web sites who offer the conversion between
different geodetic datum but that's not what I need it should be
imbedded in the spreadsheet.

Does anyone knows/has the formulae, if possible with a sample ?

"Subject: Lat/Long to UTM
Karen -
I've a spreadsheet that does this - 1-2-3 for Windows, Excel will probably
accept the file."....

WGS84 ia a datum and UTM is a projection/grid format

Actually, WGS84 isn't just a datum ;-)

WGS 84 stands for World Geodetic System 1984.
From the NIMA TECHNICAL REPORT 8350.2:
"The global geocentric reference frame and collection of models
known as the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) has evolved
significantly since its creation in the mid-1980s.
The WGS 84 continues to provide a single, common, accessible
3-dimensional coordinate system for geospatial data collected
from a broad spectrum of sources."

The term 'WGS 84' is ued as the name of the Horizontal Datum,
the Verticam Datum, the Reference Frame, the Earth Gravitational
Model, and the Geoid.
