In QGIS 3.10 I have two layers, first one is point layer and the second one is polygon layer.

Every two points (with same "ID") in my point layer overlay with a single polygon in polygon layer.

How do I get the minimum distance between 2 points in each polygon?

  • What kind of output do you need, simply a number or a line with it's length or something different?

  • Just to get the distance (number in meter) between 2 points inside the polygon

If your two points have a common "ID" field, use this expression to create a new field with field calculator:

length (
    make_line (
        $geometry,
        geometry (
            get_feature (
                @layer,
                'ID',
                ID
))))

If you first have to create the "ID", use array_first(overlay_within('polygon', $id)) (available since QGIS 3.16).

Points with same "ID" (labeled), connected with a line created on the basis of the above expression. With the expression above, you get the length of these lines:
