Can the Find Nearest tool utilize a different Maximum Distance for each T Input?

A small portion of a large workflow I'm trying to modify utilizes the Find Nearest spatial tool find to geographies within a given distance of location data found in a separate .csv input. Currently the workflow allows for the maximum distance to be modified using a Numeric Up Down interface tool, but that means that all locations utilize the same maximum distance. Is it possible to utilize a column within the location data (.csv file), so that each location can have it's own maximum distance? Sorry for the ambiguity, I'm still learning Alteryx and the workflow is very large and I'm not sure what to provide for context.

Yes - if your find nearest tool is inside of a batch macro - you can edit the value in the find nearest based upon a column that you pass in (via a control parameter)...
