Datum Transformation from WGS84 to ED50 with Cartesian Coordinates
A reader recently; He sent an e-mail saying that he wanted to perform a coordinate transformation with cartesian coordinates between his WGS84 Datum and his ED50 Datum, but had no idea what the units of the transformation parameters would be. Since I do not have very detailed information on the subject, after doing a research and obtaining detailed information, I prepared a small application of the conversion process in the Excel program by using the coordinate values obtained by converting a point to the ED50 Datum of this point with the Cartesian coordinates given in the WGS84 Datum of a point sent by my reader. I used the transformation parameters defined by HGK as the transformation parameters, and the values I obtained and the desired values matched exactly.
In the attached file, there is an explanatory flow chart of how the process is done and the solution of the process in Excel. I hope it will be useful in advance.
