ArcGIS for Excel - new spatial filter analysis failed

[EileenTeasdale]

Tested this feature out and it keeps failing.  How do we troubleshoot the cause of this failure; there is no information aside from error saying "spatial filter failed"?

Hi, I was doing the items you talk about in the blog.  I seem to have troubleshooted the problem and posted my solution below.

It appears that the problem has to do with my Result Layer Name.  If I have spaces in the name I get the spatial filter error.  If I remove the spaces or use underscores in the name instead then the analysis works.
