Summarize Within running but not returning anything

Miguel-Fernandez

I am trying to run the tool Summarize Within (Analysis tool) in ArcGIS Pro 2.7.2. The tool successfully runs but does not return a new layer or table. I can open the Details pane and see that the output locations are correct. But when I look in the project geodatabase, there is nothing there. The data I'm using for the input polygon is a single feature that covers several counties. The input summary features is a polygon layer of census tracts. I am trying to sum several of the attributes and use the group by function to group by county. Both data layers are in the same projection, epsg: 4269. I have been able to run other tools, buffer, intersect, etc and they all return the expected outputs. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I had the same problem when I was using hosted feature service as the summarized layer. I solved the problem by saving the hosted feature layer as a geodatabase feature class then running the process.

This did it!! I could not figure it out and had the same problem. Looks like if you have just added a join you have to export the feature layer and then summarize within. Thanks!

Same problem here with essentially the same parameters. Really disappointing as the alternative to using this tool is quite tedious.

Edit: It seems the tabular join on the Summary Features was the culprit. Once I exported those features with the necessary attributes and tried Summarize Within again, it worked fine!

After trying multiple solutions including reinstalling ArcGIS Pro, disabling antivirus, and running things as an administrator; creating a new user profile in windows fixed the issue for me.

I had the same problem. My data was stored on an SQL Server and there was a definition query active on the layer. I was able to circumvent the problem by exporting the features to a feautre class in a gdb, now the tool runs successfully.

I'm having the same problem. However, the tool worked perfectly yesterday. I have version 2.8.3. The code throws no error and does not yield an output.

Hi all,

I am also having the same issue with the SummarizeWithin tool as stated above. I am trying to sum points within watershed polygons, and while the tool runs successfully no output is stored. I am working locally and saving to a .gdb.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I am having the exact same issue with both the SummarizeWithin and SummarizeNearby tool. Same projection and coordinate system. I also used multipart to singlepart. The code throws no error and does not yield and output.

Hi Miguel,

Just bumped into your post while trying to figure how to solve the exact same problem!

In my case both Layers were originally imported from a CAD feature. However both of them are now features in the project's default gdb. Is it possible that it has to do with the dwg origin of the data?

Mary_Murphy

Where are the two input layers stored? Are they stored locally or on a shared/network drive?

JayantaPoddar

Does the Census layer have multipart features? Do a Multipart To Singlepart (Data Management) to check for any difference in the number of feature parts. Use its output instead of the original Census Layer.

Checking and repairing geometries would be one more thing I might try.

Miguel-Fernandez

I also tried creating a new polygon feature class to act as my Input Polygon to summarize the Census data within and still the same results.

Miguel-Fernandez

@Mary_Murphy , the grouping field, 'County' is a text field. I also tried running the tool without passing a field to the GroupBy argument and I'm still not getting any results.

Mary_Murphy

What is the data type of the grouping field e.g. is it a text field or a numerical field?

Miguel-Fernandez

I'm having trouble getting the data down to size. I'm wrapping up things for the day here but I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.

JayantaPoddar

Would it be possible to share the input feature classes/ shapefiles ?

I would like to see if I can reproduce the same issue in my machine.

Miguel-Fernandez

@JayantaPoddar I have tried those steps and the issue still persists. I appreciate your suggestions.

JayantaPoddar

The parameters look fine to me. Refresh the output FGDB to check if the feature class is created. Else, close all the sessions of ArcGIS Pro, and open ArcGIS Pro.

Miguel-Fernandez

@JayantaPoddar I've edited the post to include the screenshots.

JayantaPoddar

Could you share the screenshot of the parameters filled in Summarize Within tool, and the message dialog after the tool has run successfully?
