Measuring Distance to find closest point between points from a single table
- 7 years ago
OK, I took AlBs code and Anonymouss last post and turned it into a measure. First, I recreated 'Route Information' to have 5 dates' worth of data, one date of which is missing 3 of the locations (Dt is literally just a list of 5 dates 1/14 - 1/18):
Route Information = UNION ( CROSSJOIN ( SUMMARIZE ( 'Table2 (2)', 'Table2 (2)'[MEMNO], 'Table2 (2)'[Post Code], 'Table2 (2)'[Lattitude], 'Table2 (2)'[Longitude] ), FILTER ( Dt, Dt[Date] < "1/18/18" ) ), CROSSJOIN ( SUMMARIZE ( FILTER ( 'Table2 (2)', NOT ( 'Table2 (2)'[MEMNO] IN { "A21200", "A22701", "B10500" } ) ), 'Table2 (2)'[MEMNO], 'Table2 (2)'[Post Code], 'Table2 (2)'[Lattitude], 'Table2 (2)'[Longitude] ), FILTER ( Dt, Dt[Date] = "1/18/18" ) ) )Then taking the working code, transformed it into a measure, keeping the Date filter (I'm probably not doing it the most efficient way using variables - I still have trouble getting ALLEXCEPT and KEEPFILTER working without trial and error):
DCH (Miles) = VAR HouseLatitude = MIN ( 'Route Information'[Lattitude] ) VAR HouseLongitude = MIN ( 'Route Information'[Longitude] ) VAR EarthCircumference = 3959 VAR P = DIVIDE ( PI (), 180 ) VAR House = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Route Information'[MEMNO] ) VAR __Dt = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Route Information'[Date] ) RETURN MINX ( FILTER ( ALL ( 'Route Information' ), 'Route Information'[MEMNO] <> House && 'Route Information'[Date] = __Dt ), VAR CinemaLatitude = 'Route Information'[Lattitude] VAR CinemaLongitude = 'Route Information'[Longitude] VAR _DistanceFromCurrentRough = 80 * SQRT ( POWER ( ( HouseLatitude - CinemaLatitude ), 2 ) + POWER ( ( HouseLongitude - CinemaLongitude ), 2 ) ) RETURN IF ( _DistanceFromCurrentRough <> 0, _DistanceFromCurrentRough ) )As you can see, on 1/18/18, the distance is different for M49418
AlB- sorry, by "original" I meant in the 5th post :smileyhappy:. It was at that point I started playing with the code.
Bat signal - I was going to @ some of the heavy hitters on these boards to come to the rescue :smileyvery-happy:
Ah ok, Then the question is for Anonymous: why the two MINXs( ) as opposed to only one MINX() you used initially?
If you have just a sample of the table with the important columns and a few rows including Latitude and Longitude I can probably give it a go with that.
