Custom label based on date attribute

JimmyAllen — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:50:17 GMT

Apologies if this is a silly question as I am new to ArcGis and am probably not using the terminology correctly.

I have a simple layer generated from XY data. The CSV had 3 columns, date (which is date and time), lat and long. I am filtering the data based on time.

On the map, around 5 points are showing per time step (set to 1 min currently). I want to create an expression that searches all the points currently being displayed and only labels the newest point with the word "Falcon".

Can this be done?

Unfortunately, for performance reasons, the Labeling profile doesn't give you access to the entire dataset, just an individual feature, so I don't think you'd be able to label just the most recent feature.
