Hi there,

Could anyone tell me any function or how I can calculate
the slope in Access?

Much appreciated if you could advise.

Amy
 
Dear Amy:

Slope is rise divided by run. Rise is the difference in elevation,
run is the distance. The formula is almost too simple:

Slope = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

Where Ys are the elevation and Xs are the stations (Distance along the
Plan Line).

Is that what you needed?
