Question
I have 2 point shapefiles having 1 common ID but there is some shift between them, I want to calculate the distance between the points with the same ID, how should I do that? I tried some methods but they didnt work out, please help !

The features exiting the NeighborFinder look like the screenshot below with the distance between points described in the red box:
If you are not getting this result with your data in this workflow, then there must be some issue with the ID values not being exact matches - perhaps extra whitespace, or leading/trailing characters. As was mentioned when setting the Group By parameter requires both Base and Candidate datasets to have an attribute with that exact name - if one is different rename it or copy it into an attribute with the correct name.
