Happy that my workaround for the Find Nearest Tool worked! Those dropdowns really don't make sense...

 

Practical tips

1. Removing unnecessary fields from the 'spatial join' tools saves a significant amount of runtime.

2. Splitting the workflow into prep and analysis sections avoids recreating known data when performing analysis.

 

Note: to use the attached workflow, you'll need to run the 'Prepare data' container first to create 'Joined_data.yxdb' file. Then you can run the analysis container.

I did not understand this challenge.  So I found the store that had the most closest shops, then identified the grid squares with those stores.
