How to run a loop to get distances from one location to another using x,y coordinates

James_Simpson_125

Hello, 

 

I currently have two separate lists of coordinates:

1) Store Locations

2) Customer Locations.

 

the 2 lists are formatted as follows - 

Store0001        36.22341      -115.15654

Store0002        36.42131      -116.15

 

Customer1       36.23321      -115.26003

Customer2       36.52132      -116.23589

 

I want to be able to run a formula that essentially calculates the distance by car from Store0001 to Customer1 and Customer 2 as a new column, lets say "Distance from Store0001", then once is done with that calculation, moves on to Store0002 and calculates the distance from Store0002 to Customer 1 and 2 and creates a new column labeled  "Distance from Store0002".

 

Would this require a macro? Or is this a multi-row/multi-field formula tool? How would format this workflow?

 

 

Thanks,

See the sample I attached.  I think you could just append the two tables, calculate the distance and then use a cross tab tool.
