Used too many tools since I have little experience with spatial. Learned a lot with this one.

I found Kat's solution really helpful. I didn't realize that Find Nearest could provide more than the nearest location.

Here's my solution to challenge 137.

I forgot about the Find Nearest tool and the function that lets you create a line using fields from a single row so in retrospect I could swap out like 80% of the tools I used here.

Followed along with @kat's solution as I learn the Spatial tools.

Spatial tools in Alteryx are incredible and user friendly.
