Geometry is not a Function?

DougBrowning — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 21:27:43 GMT

When building a FeatureSet in the data expression I am trying to use geometry but it says that Geometry is not a valid function for some reason? Like umm its right there dude.

Here is the code. I found a post showing this but so weird on the function.

thanks for any info

It's in line 15. The parameter is includeGeometry, and you don't actually need to explicitly reference it, you can just put "false".

The problem you're seeing is that in line 15, you're actually setting geometry to false. So later in your expression when you try using Geometry(f), that's equivalent to typing "false(f)", which won't do anything. So you get that "not a function" error because you've overwritten the function with a boolean.

Adjust line 15 and see how it runs.

Sorry it actually cut my code off. The top two lines were calling a diff layer that does have geometry turned on.

var p = 'https://arcgis.com/';
var tbl = FeatureSetByPortalItem(Portal(p),'713e3aaef9674e3493a64347d333b618',0,['Project','PointID','StreamName','PointType','OrderCode','EvalStatus','Trip'],true);

But you are correct that it is includeGeometry. I got that part from some other code that was posted and I never double checked that. How weird it never once complained on it.

The complete code now does work. thanks!

BUT what I wonder is how does this work then - I pass to intersects with no geo and it works fine.

var plots = Intersects($feature,FeatureSetByName($map,"I_Indicators", ["PctFinesLessThan2mm"], false));
if (Count(plots) == 0) {
return "no plots in HUC"
}
else {
return Average(plots, "PctFinesLessThan2mm")
}

Is this the other issue we were talking about in the other post that it makes a second call to the layer? Like you were showing.

I have code that does one FeatureSet call then it loops a filter. But not it looks like it does another call for each filter which is super strange.

I looked back at my code and I just have false in 99% of my calls this just happened to be code I copied from a post that was wrong I guess.

thanks again.
