How do I generate feature for the Excel sheet?

Re: Error publishing On GISonline

It looks like you cannot publish a standalone table and there is a standalone table in your table of contents. To see your full list of objects in your TOC, click on the List by Source icon . Here you can see your table and can remove them so that you can publish successfully.

Are you wanting to generate features from an XY column in your excel sheet?

You have three options:

-put your tables in a geodatabase and this error should go away (but will copy to arcgis online)

-join your tables to your feature and export to a new shapefile with the attributes included

-use XY coordinates to create the feature and export to a shapefile for loading

I'm guessing you are wanting to display the data from your excel table onto your map? If so, right click on it in the table of contents and choose Display XY Data: And follow the prompts.

Or this document explains how to add your XY data another way:

Could you please explain?

_put your tables in a geodatabase and this error should go away (but will copy to arcgis online)

To do this, do I turn the excel into shape first through X, Y?

-join your tables to your feature and export to a new shapefile with the attributes included

join it with the shape file ?

-use XY coordinates to create the feature and export to a shapefile for loading

I did this, and it still had the error.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, I was successful displaying it to the map successfully. It is sharing it onto GIS Online that gives me issues.

Tks a lot

NO just load the table into your geodatabase through the catalog

oin your tables to your feature and export to a new shapefile with the attributes included

join it with the shape file ?

-Yes

-use XY coordinates to create the feature and export to a shapefile for loading

I did this, and it still had the error.

-Did you export to a shapefile, because just displaying events does not actually create data

Also, if you don't need them be just shapes, converting from XY will take up more space on AOGOL and esentially use more credits. If you just want to share the table I would use the geodatabase option since it wont store all the files that have to draw shapes, just basically the dbf.

CaroleWacta — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 01:01:36 GMT

Okay,

In the ARC Catalog, I just Right clicked on the Excel file and did Export to Gdb...

Then saved the file with dbf extension and I gave me an error.

Am I doing this right?

Tks

If you are wanting to export your excel sheet to a geodatabase, you do not add an extension. In the geodatabase, it knows that it is a table so no extension is necessary.

Thank you Adrian,

I tried so many things and not able to get this in a gdb. I am sure I am doing something wrong.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I will continue to try.

Hi Carole,

When you are adding your data to ArcMap in excel is there processing, symbolizing or formatting of the data that you need to perform prior to publishing or are you looking to get the data displayed in a web map based on the XY values?

If your data is ready to be published, try saving the excel sheet as a CSV and following the publish from CSV workflow in ArcGIS Online:

Thank you Kelly.

I did that , but because I have more than 1000 features, it won't publish...

actually, I have been able to get it into ARcmap and creates a Shapefile.

Now I would like to take it to GIS online to make some overlay analysis with other data.

Thank you..

There are a few ways to add a shapefile to ArcGIS Online. This page lists many different ways and should help you to get the data on the web that you want to see:

KellyGerrow — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 03:09:53 GMT

Hi Carole,

The 1000 feature limit applies only to data that is stored in the web map (add layers from files in the map viewer). If you add the CSV as an item and publish the service as described in this document, then you will publish a feature service which does not have a feature limit.

Hello Kelly,

To your question

Actually, I was able to add the data on ArcMap with no problem at all. I have made a shape file and projected the data and it is fine... Though, because I will like to do more analysis in GIS Online, I need the data to be published in GIS online and that is where I get a hold up.. saying that table is a stand alone. So I am trying to move past this Standalone issue and have not so far

If your data is ready to be published, try saving the excel sheet as a CSV and following the publish from CSV workflow in ArcGIS Online:

I will go to your most recent answer to this question and reply.

Thank you again.

I believe I got it to work using zip shape file through Add Items.

Thank you all for all the help and support
