Is there a formula within Quickbase that would calculate the miles from one point to another if the latitude and longitude were supplied for two locations?

I am wondering why Quickbase hasn't developed more original formulas, like sin, cos, tan, which are supported by most high school student calculators.

The business motivation for Quickbase: most tiny companies are using Excel to manage their business. To encourage them to switch over from Excel to Quickbase, Quickbase should can cover most abilities that Excel can do. Numerical formula is one weakness for Quickbase to catch up.

Develop more formulas shouldn't be difficult. It could take one programmer only few hours or up to few days, including updating documents.
