I have a X-Y-Diagram in #Excel, it is a unity circle (not so important) and I need a pointer that I can drag to any point in the diagram, and it should show me the X and Y value and the length of the pointer.
The Pointer should be defined by its starting point, the length should be calibrated to the length from 0 to 1/Xd, and 1/Xd should be the starting point of the pointer which should be fixed. 1/Xd is a point on the X axis, it is always y=0, so it lays on the x axis.

All values needed will be available in a table in Excel.

Anyone any idea how to ā€œprogramā€ this?

I Will Fucking Dropkick You If You Use That Spreadsheet ā€” Ludicity

Anything. I am begging you on my hands and knees, anything. Write a SQLite database on your local hard drive. Do some garbage in Python. Encode the data in binary using a series of pebbles on your front lawn. If necessary, I will personally call your manager and explain the problem. I will actually do this. It's easy, I swear. They're all definitely easier than being defenestrated, which is the only alternative I am offering.

An #Excel error led to an estimated 1,500 deaths in the #UK last year

The UK #COVID contact tracing effort saved to an old Excel file format (.XLS) rather than the new one (.XLSX). The smaller row limits resulted in names being dropped & they were never contacted by tracers.
