We have a busy version update to dive into. Let’s begin. 

The ArcGIS for Excel 2025.1.0.0.34 release focuses on performance improvements, enhancing efficiency in processing and analysis. New features include the ability to add JSON files, apply layer effects like bloom and drop shadow, alongside new ArcGIS functions and Spatial aggregation (a new analysis tool).  

Enhancements such as the option to save result layers to ArcGIS and UI/UX improvements have also been implemented.  

Several bugs were fixed, including issues with attribute table access and sync functionality, while translation and localization bugs were addressed, contributing to overall user experience enhancements. 

Errors, messages, and more 

We are eager to introduce the ArcGIS for Microsoft errors, messages, and warnings online resource. It offers a list of errors, warnings, information, and validation messages you may encounter with ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 products. 

New features 

1. Ability to add geometries saved in JSON file

3. ArcGIS Functions:  CONVERTTOESRIJSON, VERTICESTOESRIJSON, ENRICHBYPOLYGON, GETGEOMETRY 

4. Spatial aggregation analysis tool: 

Spatial Aggregation can be run on maps with two layers: one area layer with the boundaries will be used for aggregation (in this example, California Census track boundaries), and one layer to aggregate (in this example, California Golf courses). 

The aggregation output will provide a sum or count of golf courses per census track.
