Instructions: 1. Enter the name of the ellipsoid associated with the geodetic coordinates in C12 2. Enter the semi major axis (metres) and inverse flattening of the associated ellipsoid in D13:D14 3. Enter the latitude in D7:F7 (south latitudes are negative) 4. Enter the longitude in D8:D7 5. Enter the ellipsoidal height (metres) in D9 (note that it must be the ELLIPSOIDAL height) 6. Note the Earth-centred Cartesian coordinates (metres) from L7:L9 To see the intermediate calculations, use Excel's outlining tool to show the hidden rows.

Instructions: 1. Enter the name of the starting coordinate system in D5 (documentation only) 2. Enter the starting coordinates in D6:D8 (by default they will be taken from the output of the Geodetic to Cartesian sheet. 3. Enter the name of the resulting coordinate system in K5 (documentation only) 4. Enter the 7 transformation parameters in G6:G12 5. Note the transformed position from K6:K8 Warning: be careful of the sign convention for rotations. There are two different ways of applying the sign conventions for the rotations. In both cases the sign convention is the same (a positive rotation is an anti-clockwise rotation, when viewed along the positive axis towards the origin) but: 1. The International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) assumes the rotations to be of the position around the coordinate axes, while 2. The method historically used in Australia assumes the rotations to be of the coordinate axes. The only way to be absolutely sure which method or parameters are required is to test them using a known input and output for a set of parameters.
