Hello guys. I'm new here and in PB. I work for the Brazillian government in the departament of transports. We are developing a project to relate car accidents registered locations with our middle schools locations to act in those schools in order to educate and prevent our children get in these accidents. I have latitude and longitude of many accidents and of all the schools in Brazil but I can't find a way to analyse the accidents in a 100 km radius of the schools to determine the type and the amount of accidents of each type. Can you guys give me some light to solve this ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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
)
)

Thank you for the tip. It worked very well.
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
Raj
