Near Me widget Summary Anaylsis is no longer summarizing Statistics/Expressions based on user-defined area

Question

The Near Me widget in ExperienceBuilder seems to have a bug where statistics calculated using the 'Add Summary' option are not affected by the intersect with a user-defined area. I have noticed this after the ArcGIS Online update last night.

For example, this:

Results in this output:

where the expression SUM({Shape__Area}) shows the sum for the full dataset, rather than the intersected area.

The expected behaviour is that SUM({Shape__Area}) would be equal to the Sum of the intersected area.

We use the 'Add Summary' option to get summary information from point datasets where 'Sum of the intersected area' is not an option, and from polygon datasets where summary info besides area is required. This will have a significant impact on the usability of some of our tools that rely on Near Me.

It seems Near Me is working pretty well now. Thank you

@lforman ,

We released a fix for a summary issue similar to yours, we were seeing issue when the buffer distance is zero, but looks like you are using a buffer distance, so I am not sure if the fix will work for you. Could you please check your app and run the Near Me again and see if the summary analysis looks right or not?

Hi @lforman,

Could you please share a screenshot of your app with map and Near Me with results pane? Also, is it possible for you to share the app with me?

We are looking into it.

It is not necessary that sum of shape_area will be always same as sum of intersected area, shape_area field is system calculated field and is based on spatial reference unit of your data. Sum of intersected area is in kilometers here (buffer unit). Also, sum of intersected area settings do not clip

Near Me's sum of intersected area calculates the area of intersected polygons, so it will get the full area of intersected polygon even if it is intersected partially.
