[1] User:
Use the latitudes and review how DPDs are computed!!!

[2] User:
Latitude of B minus the latitude of A

[3] User:
Departure of B minus the departure of A

[4] User:
This should be numerically equal but opposite in sign with the corresponding latitude of the line.

[5] User:
You cannot apply DPD or DMD unless the sum of the latitudes and the departures is zero.

[6] User:
The area should be positive. You get the absolute value of one-half of the sum of the double areas.

[7] User:
include a column for height of instrument
