Hi All
New to Alteryx and these forums - grateful for any help with this one.
I have data containing latitude and longitude points. I want to generate a second latitude and longitude point based on a distance in KM from the original point in the direction of North, South, East or West. If you can imagine my data looks something like this:
Lat Long Direction Distance(KM)
-32.170777 | 146.060376 | West | 20 | | NEW LAT | NEW LONG
There seems to be a lot of guides around about creating radius around points, or calculating distance between two known points, but neither offer the solution I need.
Grateful for any assistance.

Hi @Plight
I just took a quick go at this. It's not exact science but might be able to set you on your way. The way I created the N, S, E, W points maybe requires some mathematical calulation to get it exact however, this could give you some results if you were just looking for points in those directions.
Best,

Brilliant Jordan, thanks so much for the quick response. I'll take a look at this tonight, even if it's not perfect, it will have me well on my way.
Cheers
Henry
