Calculating Density Alttitude of Air knoing temp/baro/humidity?


I'm trying to figure out the Density Altitude of Air
Known data
Temp 70*F
Barometric Pressure 30inHg
Humidity 35%

do I need more data or can I calculet it from this?

There are many calculators available to do this. One is at:

With this one you need to calculate Dewpoint temp first using the first moisture calculator then calculate the density altitude.
BTW humidity when it is in a % is relative humidity.

I need an actual formula...not a calculator
calculator doesnt do me any good in an excel spreadsheet...

so whats the formula for dewpoint with known temperature and relative humidity
and then once I have dewpoint how do I get to Density Altitude?

The formulas are on the site I gave you. There are also spreadsheets on the net that do what you want to do.
As for Td some reports already include it.
