Hello,
I've had patchy success with performing analysis (such as creating buffers) in ArcGIS Online based on addresses. There are 9 addresses that I need to create buffers from, and 7 worked perfectly fine. The other two always return the following error:
"The result of your analysis did not return any features. No layer will be created."
I've tried saving the layer first, I've tried searching using the 9 digit zip code, I've tried spelling out the addresses multiple ways (e.g. PKWY vs. Parkway), and I've even tried searching for the name of the establishment instead (e.g. San Francisco State). Nothing I do enables me to create a buffer the way I did for the 7 other addresses. The two problem addresses always come up with a match in the search, so it's not that the center of the buffer isn't found. I'm making sure that all the options and boxes checked are the same as the other times I've successfully performed this analysis. I don't know what else could be the problem. Any ideas?
FYI, the two problem addresses are:
Cal State San Bernardino: 5500 University Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407
San Francisco State: 1600 Holloway Ave, San Francisco, CA 94132
Solved! Go to Solution.
Weird error...it doesn't like the Title for some reason. Change the default Title which is the full address to something shorter and then re-run the buffer. This fixed the issue for me.
How are you point features stored? A screen shot can really do wonders when trying to help troubleshoot a problem such as this...
Hi Kyle,
Here's SF State vs. SD State (a successful one):
Both addresses were pasted in the search bar that says "find an address or place" then added as a Map Note, changed the name of the layer in the Table of Contents, and saved the layer. The "Save Layer" option is now grayed out (disabled) for both SF and SD.
Thanks!

Wow! Thank you so much Kyle! It worked!!!
I never would have even thought of checking for a bug like that!
San Francisco and San Bernardino were the two cities on my list with the longest names, I wonder if there's a limit as to the number of characters a city name can have in the "create buffer" processing. For the record, Los Angeles (third longest city name on my list) worked fine.
You're the best! Thanks again!
Not sure if it is the length of the city name or overall length of the title...happy you have it working!
