How to find the 2 or 3 nearest points

[SanchezNuñez]

Good afternoon,

I am looking for a way to find the 2 or the nearest facilities from a point.

Is there a way to get more than one candidate using arcpy.analysis.Near?

Regards

Never tried to do this but thinking in my head...

Using a Loop...

• Do a near analysis and get the OID of the nearest feature.
• Then make a feature layer but def query to display all features EXCEPT the OID returned
• Run Near Analysis again against the queried feature layer to get the 2nd closest feature

Try Generate Near Table and specify the closest_count parameter as 2

Check outGenerate origin destination links 

It may fit your use case - it creates a ‘spider diagram’
