ArcGIS Online Analysis Tools Use Definition Query (Filter)?

I am currently trying to run the Find Location analysis tool against a subset of another dataset (ex. Find all houses within 20 miles of weather stations with wind gusts over 40 mph)  Yet, when I limit the wind dataset using the Filter tool, this is ignored by the analysis tool. 

Is there a way to create a Definition Query (assumed this could be accomplished with Filter) to allow me to run the analysis tools on a subset of data? 

Thanks.

This should work. Are you using the filter tool in the map viewer? Just tried it on a tool and it worked for me.

Mike, the filter works just fine.  It is when I run an analysis tool against the filtered layer, it uses the full layer instead of the filtered results.  I just tested this again and it still didn't work.

We are investigating the problem. It appears to be specific to filters set on layers where the source is a map service.


Thanks,

This issue was fixed in the last AGOL patch that was deployed on 7/10/2014.  The issue was specific to running analysis functions on dynamic map service layers when a filter had been applied.
