Arcade FeatureSetByName Not Returning What I Expected

Question

Hello,

I am struggling to return the attribute I want not because of Arcade but more from my logic in Arcade.

The pic below shows the same statement and the "return  aa" which returns [R] and is correct but then the "return results" returns "000000" and I thought it would return FF0000 which is what I'd like. Any guidance would be huge.

Thank you so much.

FeatureSerByName is grabbing a feature set, and you are testing values based on a feature.  So, need to grab the feature (or features) that you are interested in first.

The post here gives a good, simple example of how to intersect and grab the result: FeatureSetBy......

Once you get it returning the result you are after ( [R], [D], [I], etc.), then you can build your "if" statements with a return for each comparisong.

Also, link to entering code on forum for future reference.

Rhett, You got me thinking logically. I created the expression var aa = Intersects(FeatureSetByName($map, "StatesWithSenators",['Fname1','LName1', 'Balloted1']),Centroid($feature)) for (var f in aa) if(text(f.Balloted1) == "[R]") { return "FF0000" } if(text(f.Balloted1) == "[D]") { return "0000FF" } if(text(f.Balloted1) == "[I]") { return "BEBEBE" } and then added to the text source for my pop up Senator(s): {expression/expr10} and it worked out perfectly. Thank you so much. GR
