Ah, The Travelling Salesman problem. I just had to do this with the added complication of multiple timeslots within a given day, and that baked my noodle.

This is relatively straightforward, and I've probably done this in the same way as most.

I began by splitting the stream and off-setting the row by subtracting 1 from the row order and joining back together, thus displaying the start and end point on each row.
I then split the steam again, one to determine distance travelled and one to plot the route using a polyline build. I then smooshed it back together and sorted by distance descending.

ps - "Smooshed" is a word. Shut up.

I was not able to open the challenge start file, as it was apparently created in a new version of Alteryx.  I am on 11.3. Does anyone have a version of the challenge file that works on 11.3?

@tammybrown_tds,

 

Are you getting an error opening the yxmd file? This Challenge was done in a much older version of Alteryx than 11.3.
