Arcade FeatureSetByName Not Returning What I Expected

GregReinecke — Sun, 25 Dec 2022 19:15:25 GMT

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.

Without seeing at least some code, hard to guess what you are trying to achieve, but looks like a Text() formatting useage.

Perhaps something like:

Text($feature.COLUMNAME, 'FF0000')

Thank you Rhett. The expression below (which 've tried many ways now) ignores the evaluation and just returns ["000000"] .

IF (Intersects(FeatureSetByName($map, "StatesWithSenators",['Balloted1']),Centroid($feature)) == '[R]') {"FF0000"}

else if (Intersects(FeatureSetByName($map, "StatesWithSenators",['Balloted1']),Centroid($feature)) == '[D]') {"0000FF"}

else if (Intersects(FeatureSetByName($map, "StatesWithSenators",['Balloted1']),Centroid($feature)) == '[I]') {"BEBEBE"}

else {"000000"}

I know how the this finds the [R]. [D] or [I] from the FeatureSetByName layer but no matter what I have done, it doesn't assign the corresponding color hex code which I would than use when I put the expression in some html. I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

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

<span style="font-size:large;">Senator(s): <font color="{expression/expr8}">{expression/expr10}</font>

and it worked out perfectly. Thank you so much.
