Distance function without latitude and longitude
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi RFederer ,
You can try to use DAX and normal Power BI map visual objects for your needs. Finding distance along the edge of a sphere calls for the haversine formula. For example:Distance (km) = VAR __latSelected = SELECTEDVALUE('US Cities'[Latitude]) VAR __lonSelected = SELECTEDVALUE('US Cities'[Longitude]) VAR __radius = 6371 VAR __multiplier = PI()/180 VAR __latDiff = (MIN('Selector'[Latitude])-__latSelected) * __multiplier VAR __lonDiff = (MIN('Selector'[Longitude])-__lonSelected) * __multiplier VAR __formula1 = SIN(__latDiff/2) * SIN(__latDiff/2) + COS(MIN('Selector'[Latitude]) * __multiplier) * COS(__latSelected * __multiplier) * SIN(__lonDiff/2) * SIN(__lonDiff/2) VAR __formula2 = 2 * ATAN(DIVIDE(SQRT(__formula1),SQRT(1-__formula1))) VAR __distance = __radius * __formula2 RETURN __distanceI found an article about displaying all the points on a map within a specified radius that I hope will help you. And you can find the sample pbix and detailed realization steps here:

Hi RFederer ,

Distance (km) =
VAR __latSelected = SELECTEDVALUE('US Cities'[Latitude])
VAR __lonSelected = SELECTEDVALUE('US Cities'[Longitude])
VAR __radius = 6371
VAR __multiplier = PI()/180
VAR __latDiff = (MIN('Selector'[Latitude])-__latSelected) * __multiplier
VAR __lonDiff = (MIN('Selector'[Longitude])-__lonSelected) * __multiplier
VAR __formula1 =
SIN(__latDiff/2) * SIN(__latDiff/2) +
COS(MIN('Selector'[Latitude]) * __multiplier) * COS(__latSelected * __multiplier) *
SIN(__lonDiff/2) * SIN(__lonDiff/2)
VAR __formula2 = 2 * ATAN(DIVIDE(SQRT(__formula1),SQRT(1-__formula1)))
VAR __distance = __radius * __formula2
RETURN __distance
