Change/Transform Geometry in Expression

Question

Hi there,

I have the following issue:

I want to display the coordinates of points in AGOL in WKID 4326. 
However, since the reference system of the map is different I get this error message:

Cannot create Geometry in this SpatialReference. 
Engine is using a different spatial reference.

Is there a way to project the geometry using Arcade?

Hi Xander,

do you have one that goes from 3857 to 2236, state plane XY?

Thanks

Hi  XanderBakke,

There is any new in projections in arcade or they're not supported yet

Hi Marco Poetsch , Projection is not supported in the Arcade expression (yet). So in theory it is not possible to apply a projection in an Arcade expression. However, I have used a rather simple function to transform a point in Web Mercator Auxialiary Sphere to WGS 1984: function MetersToLatLon(x, y) { // Converts XY point from Spherical Mercator EPSG:900913 to lat/lon in WGS84 Datum // Fuente: http://www.maptiler.org/google-maps-coordinates-tile-bounds-projection/ var originShift = 2.0 * PI * 6378137.0 / 2.0; var lon = (x / originShift) * 180.0; var lat = (y / originShift) * 180.0; lat = 180.0 / PI * (2.0 * Atan( Exp( lat * PI / 180.0)) - PI / 2.0); return [lat, lon]; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I have used this to create hyperlinks to Waze, Streetview and prefill a Survey123 surfey with a location. An example of how this is done (in Spanish) can be found here: https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-11541-crear-un-enlace-para-navegar-con-waze-en-la-ventana-emergente-con-arcade
