Map not updating when the data changes

Piminator — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 09:16:56 GMT

Hello. I have a data range which can change its lat/long co-ordinates in Excel. How do I get the geocoded points on the map to update/refresh when the data range changes? Many thanks in advance.

In my experience, I have had to right click the hamburger stack and force a refresh. This has worked for me in the past when my data was not updating.

Many thanks Kate - this works for me, although I hope ESRI might be able to dynamically update in a future release. Thanks again for the tip.

Agree. It should ideally be dynamically updating. Mark as solution (though a poor one!) so that it may help others.

Thanks

Kate

That is a good idea, I suggest adding it to the ArcGIS for Excel Ideas board. We review the submitted ideas as we plan for the next workstream or broader semester planning. The more people up vote it, the higher priority it gets.
