Challenge #137: Find the Closest 'Dry' Point!

SueDonim

Had to learn quite a bit about the spatial tools, and needed some help, but got it (and more importantly, understand it).  Really neat

 

And with that, I have now completed all the beginner challenges!

Process:
- Find Nearest tool with Customers object as target and Fiber Splice Point object as universe (search for multiple nearest points so some solutions do not cross water)
- Add line between customer and fiber splice point (to allow test for crossing water)
- Spatial Match tool with Customer, Fiber Splice Points, and Siteline as Target and Water Shape file as Universe.  Look at the Unmatched output as that will be the lines that do not intersect water
- Select closest line in Unmatched output (grouped by customer)

A nice challenge working with shape files!

 

Very useful as an example of spatial analytics in Alteryx!
