Distance matrix

pernilleparmer — Fri, 25 May 2012 12:41:31 GMT

Hi,
I am trying to calculate (what I thought would be an easy task) the distance matrix between the world capitals, but I do not find out how. I???m using ArcGIS 10, and I have the point layer. I have tried to use the point distance function under analysis tools, but it does not want to run.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,
Pernille

Hi,

You could do this by using the Near tool. This will at least give you the Euclidean distance between each point in your dataset.

Hope this helps!

You could run the Euclidean distance tool, which will output as a raster file. Then run tool get attribute table (or something to that effect) which will create a table for the euclidean distance raster you just made. That is how I would approach it. From there I would figure out what else I needed to do to make a matrix happen. I am not sure if there are other ways.
