Hi.  
I would like to use this function “=GOOGLEMAPS\_DISTANCE(Cell 1, Cell2)” to calculate distant and display automatically. Is it possible? And how?

Is that a function that is specific to excel, or only to google sheets? That looks like a google sheet function. In any case, I think that is something that would have to be done directly in the sheet itself. Glide does have a distance column type, but that only provides a straight line distance instead of a driving distance.

It’s Google Sheet function. If It’s not possible to use that formula in Glide. How to calculate straight line distance from 2 latlong in Glide?
