Find Nearest Data
The Nearest functions return information about the distance between a datum postcode and a single reference postcode or list of reference postcodes.
Distances measured in metres, kilometres, miles and nautical miles
Define a List of Postcode Descriptions.
Define how many 'Nearest' records to be returned e.g. Closest 3 to datum.
If a list of check postcodes are being queried the Ordinal_Position field returns the closest postcode to the datum. 0 being the closest, 1 next closest, 2 next, etc.
