My solution: used multi row formula to generate stop ID's for the journey each day, which I then built a sequence polyline from and subsequently measured.

Almost Done.

Unlike other user, I used self-join and distance tool to calculate the straight line distance. To me, this method is more straight forward the cursive calculation.

One more thing, I don't have Spatial Data Pack, So don't know how to calcaulate the drive distance, maybe google map api could be a option?
