I have geocoded 2 datasets and am looking to determine how close items are from one dataset according to the second dataset. To do so I have the data looping through dataset A and comparing to the data in dataset B, then moving on to the next line and so on. For each loop I want to store the smallest three distances and store them. I am able to do this individually plugging in the lat/long, but when I start trying it with the loop, I don't get the correct data being stored. Here is the input data: LTC_ll:
