> Any chance of getting the calculations you used for x,y,z from the RA/Dec?

You need more than RA/Dec; you also need the parallax - or, some other way
to get the distance from Sol. Then, with RA, Dec and the Distance (R), you
can derive X, Y and Z.

The formulas are;

X = R × cos(Dec) × cos(RA)
Y = R × cos(Dec) × sin(RA)
Z = R × sin(Dec)

Now, remember, if you use Excel for these conversions, you have to convert
the angles to degrees. Excel's trig functions are based on Radians.
