Error 00241: Using Shape_Area to normalize

Craig_Eissler_Iceman

I receive this Error during the Share As > Web Map "Analyze" step.

Why is a common density map that normalizes by 'Shape_Area' a problem?

...In addition, why is this layer even a problem when it's not visible and not meant to convert to a Web Map with the other layers?

See below: Thanks

Oh, I know that what you suggest would work for sure -- without even trying.

The problem is I don't even want this layer to be included in my AGOL web map, but I DO want to keep it in my ArcGIS Pro desktop project. ...So, what gives..?

I wonder if it's because the Shape_area field is a reserved ArcGIS field name and likely would update to the Web Mercator projection of a web map/web layer. Just a guess on that one though. One thing to test is to create a new attribute field (float or short integer), do a field calculation to get an area value, use that in the Symbology pane and try the workflow again to share as a web layer.

Here's something interesting I found about reserved field names.

Well, yes and no... Of the three solutions, number 3 seems to be the relevant one.

The problem is I don't want to change the field that I'm normalizing by.

I suppose removing the layer would solve it to, but I don't want to do that either.

...So, it really does come down to the "why" ...I want to know the concept behind this.

Not sure the "whys" of the error per se without digging into it but we're you able to use the solutions of the webpage to resolve the error?
