Need Everything within 10 miles of Target locations

This should be easy for someone.  I need to be able to identify every location within 10 miles of a bunch of other locations.  I have a workflow that setup that gives me up to 20 alternatives - but I need everything within 10 miles.  I've got an Excel file with my Target locations and I've got one with everything else.  Thanks in advance or any help.  It would be nice to know the distance to the target as well.  Thanks.

Check out the sample 04  Find_all_customers_within_30_miles_of_a_store.  This shows how to use the Spatial match, trade area, and distance tool to do everything you mentioned.  Go to Help>Sample workflows>Describe What Is Happening to find the example.

Hey @Brad1

From your post I'm guessing you're using the distance tool which defaults to 20 max.... If you need more just manually change the number to something like 1000 and that will capture everything (hopefully)

You can create a trade area of 10 miles of your file with a bunch of locations, then use a spatial match to match the points that are in the trade area.

 

See attached example.

 

I hope it helps.

Yeah, I didn't realize I could change that from what's in there.  That was the answer.
