I have two sources of geocoded layers of the same data and yet there are anomalies so I am trying to clean the data. I what I need is to do a "Near" analysis but would like to only "detect" how far points that share the same attribute are from each other. How do I go about doing this?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 05 Jun 2019 22:02:16 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/near-point-analysis-on-2-point-layers-with/m-p/306518#M17509 JesusMontalvo 2019-06-05T22:02:16Z Re: Near point analysis on 2 point layers with identical attributes. https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/near-point-analysis-on-2-point-layers-with/m-p/306519#M17510 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>One option might be to <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/merge.htm">merge</A> the two datasets, then use the <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/points-to-line.htm">Points To Line tool</A> with a shared field as the "Line Field" parameter.
