It is good to have these easy ones in here in order to make me feel better about the ones that take me over an hour.

I've been doing this a lot recently with a client, so I probably solved this quicker than other recent challenges...

I simply created a multi-row formula tool that takes the spatial object from the row above (remember to group by date!):

This means the spatial objects to be compared on a single row and so only a single spatial tool is required.
Then, I simply used the Distance tool to determine the distance (or drivetime, or drive distance) and summed the distance by date.

Cool small exercise, it's not often that I get to play with the Spatial tools section.

I'm not sure if the tool selection have been improved since this challenge was posted, but I just used two tools and a Select for header lignment. Had to check the suggested solution to see if it really was ment to be that simple. :)
