How to get geographic boundaries for cities in ArcGIS Online like in ArcGIS Excel?

Question

Hello all,

So nromally I would use Excel to amp with ArcGIS, but the data load I'm running unfortunately is too much for Excel to handle. I was however able to map what I needed through the website but there's one problem: The map theme on the website just gives me dots/markers while the Excel version of Excel gives me actual city boundaries.

For example, this is what I get in Excel. You can clearly see the city boundaries.

On the website though, I only get this option.

The overall map I'm trying to run costs 500 credits, and I'm only allotted 2000 so I don't have a lot of room to explore. Is is possible I didn't do something when first uploading the map?

Is there any update on this?

I want to create boundaries around the Canada's different state or cities like ontario, toronto, quebec as so one.

Does it possible?

Never used Excel for that so can't test.  But, the symbology for the Excel pics looks like it's applied to a polygon layer, the other is symbology for points.

So, it appears as if they are different datasets.  If you want to show the outlines of the cities, will need a polygon (or line) layer.

Is this local data or something we can test with?
