Also, you cannot have null values for the other stops. If you are using a sequence field, then all stops should have a non-null value. Jay Sandhu ... View more

The route solve looks at the Sequence field. It cannot be any field, unless you load that field information to the Sequence Field on the Stops attribute table. Jay Sandhu ... View more

How are you defining the last stop? Initially it is the order in which they are added but after some solves you have to set the sequence numbers to specify the first and last stops. Jay Sandhu  ... View more

So what is happening to the last stop? Is it not the last stop? Or it is not reached? It is not clear what issue you have and the screen shot does not show anything meaningful. Please post some more details. Thanks, Jay Sandhu ... View more

You can use the Explore Network tool to look at the connectivity of the network. Most likely the edges are not connected, and it could be due to a number of reasons including whether the data needs End point or Any vertex connectivity. The Explore tool should give you a clue on how the edges are connected and if the impedance values are correct. More info on the tool here: Explore Network—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Jay Sandhu ...

You can check what values you have for the edges and what break values you are setting for the service area. If you think about it, slope is a ratio and not a useful number to use as an impedance. So perhaps the values are not what you might think they are.  Jay Sandhu ... View more

How are you modeling slopes as a cost? Is the slope information added as an impedance to the network dataset? You can use the Explore network tool and inspect the edges to make sure the values are set up correctly. More info here: Explore Network—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Jay Sandhu ... View more

Here is a quick overview of what you need to do: If you want to use the roads that you have to compute the shortest paths, then first you will need to create a network dataset on them. Next you will need to convert the excel X,Y into point feature class using the GP tool AddXY. Next you need to create a route analysis layer and load your points as stops and solve. All of these high level steps need more familiarity with the Network extension. You will need to use the tutorials to get started on this. You can access the tutorials here: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/network-analyst/about-the-network-analyst-tutorial-exercises.htm OR, if you have an ArcGIS online account, you can use the map viewer and upload you XY data and use the Calculate Travel Cost tool. For this it will use credits and use the Streetmap Premium network data to compute the distances/paths.

The geocoding process returns a match score but once an address is turned into a point feature, then you can load it into your VRP layer by clicking on the Orders button on the VRP ribbon or using the Add Locations GP tool. Have you done this step? If yes and you still get the error then the next step is to check if you have road features in your network dataset that are near the Order locations for them to be located on the network.  Can you draw your network and check?

You can use Network Analyst to accomplish your task. The road line feature class can be turned in to a network dataset. You do not need to create all intersections before building a network on it. You can use the Integrate tool to do that. Once you have a network dataset, you can use the Closest Facility solver to compute the path/distance from a set of incident locations to the one or more closest facility locations. I suggest using the Network Analyst tutorials to help you with this. Network Analyst tutorials—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Jay Sandhu ... View more

Most likely your cities are NOT connected to BOTH the lines, even though they appear to be.  However, if your goal is to compute the distances between the cities, you do not need to make them part of the network dataset. You should make the network on just the rail line features. Then check the connectivity of the first or last lines (that is, places where you mention things do not appear to be). Once you have made sure the connectivity is correct, then create a route analysis layer and load your city location pairs as Stops and solve. The city locations are snapped to the closest location on the network and distances are computed.  The only reason you want to bring points into a network are cases like providing extra information like costs or adding burn through connectivity when you have anyvertex connectivity.

what is your input network dataset? Are you using our online service? how many facilities do you have since you are running dissolve.  Is there an overlap among their output as that might causing the bigger polygons. Can you include a picture of the overall service area so that we can see what could be going on? Jay Sandhu ... View more
