# Distance From Destination column (Trips table)

> What the Distance From Destination column in Dispatch Planner v2 measures, how to pick the place it measures from, and why it only appears while a distance filter is set.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Distance From Destination** column shows how far each trip's destination is from a place you pick in the **Destination Location** filter. Use it to find trips that end near a place you want a driver to finish, and sort them nearest first.

## At a glance

| | |
| - | - |
| **Table** | Trips |
| **Shown by default** | No. The column appears on its own while **Destination Location** is filtered by a place and radius, and hides again when you clear that filter. It is not offered in the column configuration menu. |
| **Sort** | Yes |
| **Filter** | None. Filter **Destination Location** instead. |
| **Who sees it** | Everyone who can open Dispatch Planner v2 |
| **Edit in the grid** | No |

## How do I pick the place the distance is measured from?

1. Open the **Destination Location** filter in the Trips table.
2. Search for a place and pick it from the suggestions.
3. Choose a radius: **25 miles**, **50 miles**, **100 miles**, **250 miles**, or **500 miles**. The radius starts at 100 miles.

The Trips table then lists only trips whose destination is within that radius, and **Distance From Destination** appears with each trip's distance from the place you picked. Typing text in the **Search destination** box on its own does not show the column, because there is no place to measure from.

## How is the distance measured?

In a straight line, in miles, from the place you picked to the trip's destination, the stop shown in **Destination Location**. It is not driving distance, so the road miles are longer.

## Why is the column missing or blank?

**No place is set in the Destination Location filter.** Without a place there is nothing to measure from, so the column stays hidden. Pick a place and a radius to show it.

**A trip whose destination has no map location is not listed.** While the radius is set, only trips whose destination can be placed on the map can match, so every trip you see has a distance.
