Arcade newbie
Hi Tricia Hines ,
Have you explored the available lessons at learn.arcgis.com? Lesson Gallery | Learn ArcGIS There are a couple that should get you started. To help you with your particular challenge, I have some instructions below.
Let me take you through the steps. To simulate your situation I added two layers of the living atlas that both share the GEOID. I will work on the Tract level to explain the process:
The pop-up by default has the following information:
We can edit this pop-up bu adding additional information to it. To do so we have to configure an expression on the layer to access your layer and retrieve the information you want to add. So enter the configuration of the pop-up and click on the Add button to configure the Arcade expression:
And this is were you start writing your expression:
The expression used in my example you can find below (please read the comments to understand each step):
// Change_2018_2010
// 2010_count
// 2018_est
// Per_change
// read your GEOID from the feature you clicked on
var geoid = $feature.GEOID;
// create a filter expression
var sql = "GEOID = @geoid";
// connect to your layer (change the name of the layer as used in the map)
var fs = FeatureSetByName($map,"ACS Population Variables - Boundaries - Tract");
// filter the features by GEOID
var tracts = Filter(fs, sql);
// create a string variable to store the result
var result = "Info on your other layer:";
// check to see if we have resulting records, using a count
if (Count(tracts)>0) {
// we have results, get the first record (there will probably only one)
var tract = First(tracts);
// construct the string, use the names of the field you want to return
var total_area = tract.ALAND + tract.AWATER;
result += TextFormatting.NewLine + " - Land area : " + tract.ALAND + " (" + Round(tract.ALAND/total_area * 100, 2) + "%)";
result += TextFormatting.NewLine + " - Water area: " + tract.AWATER + " (" + Round(tract.AWATER/total_area * 100, 2) + "%)";
} else {
// no records found with the GEOID, result empty string
result = "";
}
return result;To show the result you will have to add the expression to the pop-up. To do this configure the pop-up:
And add the expression to the pop-up:
Hit "OK" and see the result:
In your case you will consult the fields you mentioned.
Be aware that you will need to configure the expression for each layer that you use and access the correct corresponding layer in case you have different levels of aggregation.
