I couldn't quite get the macros to work in the time I had, but love spatial tools!

Welcome to the Weekly Challenge. Each week Alteryx post a use case where you can put your Alteryx skills to the test. You'll be able to share your answers and collaborate with other challengers to arrive at an answer. Participation will be rewarded - just make sure you are attaching your Alteryx ...

My results are slightly different (off by about 1/100th of a mile). I assume this is because I used a formulaic approach rather than a geometric one.

I used the Destination Point given distance and bearing from start point from this site: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html for my formulas.

I was able to make a workflow to match the compare solution

 

I couldn't help but to notice in the compare solution the angle of the extended line slightly different from the actual line.  

 

Bit unsatisfied because of that. I would like to try it again and get the angle of extended line same as actual line.
