When we want to calculate the distance between two locations, we need to know the coordinates of these two locations.
Here’s the sample data:
We now have the coordinates of current locations and destinations, using below formula we could get the distance between these locations.
Distince (KM) = 12742 -- The diameter of the Earth (KM). * ASIN ( -- Returns the arcsine, or inverse sine, of a number. SQRT ( -- Returns the square root of a number. POWER ( -- Returns the result of a number raised to a power. SIN ( -- Returns the sine of the given angle. 'Table'[Current Lat] - 'Table'[Destination Lat] ) * PI () / 360, 2 ) -- PI () Returns the value of Pi, 3.14159265358979, accurate to 15 digits. + COS ( -- Returns the cosine of the given angle. 'Table'[Current Lat] * PI () / 180 ) * COS ( 'Table'[Destination Lat] * PI () / 180 ) * POWER ( SIN ( 'Table'[Current Long] - 'Table'[Destination Long] ) * PI () / 360, 2 ) ) )

Hi
Pls refer this https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Calculate-distance-between-Zip-Codes/td-p/1099351
It has the solution to calculate the distance between the locations . Use the latitude & longitude of school & accident location to derive the distance.
Thanks
