Can PBI Desktop calculate the driving distance between points on a map visual?

Hello,

I am working on a Power BI project in which I have many locations taken from an Excel spreadsheet and are plotted on a map BI visual using their latitude and longitude. 

 

 

I am trying to find a way to calculate the driving distance between any given two points that are on the map visual. This would preferably be done entirely in BI rather than in Excel as the client would prefer we not make changes to their spreadsheet.

 

Is there an easy way to produce a dashboard that can calculate and return the driving distance between any two selected points on the map? 

 

I know that Power BI does it's mapping via Bing Maps so I am hoping their is a way to take advantage of Bing Maps' more robust functionality in BI.

 

Thanks in advance.
