How can I get a Count within a selected radius on a map

I have a map of our metro area and I want to get a count of employees in each zip code, then I want to pick a spot on the map and draw the circle out to get a count of the employees inside that circle.  I figured out how to use the drive time selector to draw a circle from a particular spot, but it doesn't give me the count of employees inside that circle.

  • Hi  jonnythefist ,

     

    What type of visualization are you using?

     

    If you add a card visualization to your report then if the interactions are active when you select data on the map it will return the selected values count on the card.

      I am using the ArcGIS map.  I added the Card visualization as you suggested, but I do not know how to select an area on the map and have the card return a count of the employees within that selection. I'm a novice at this, so would appreciate more detailed instructions. Thanks.

      MFelix...I figured it out, so thank you.  However, I am having trouble with the City and State not showing properly.  For example, Sherwood Oregon is showing on the map as Sherwood Arkansas, even though the employee is in Oregon.  The City and State are separate fields.  How do I get the map to show the right city?

        Hi jonnythefist ,

         

        Be sure to selected the correct categorization type for each column on the format of the column settings:

         

        Play around with country, place, state and see what is the correct one.
