Spatial Points Selecitons

[DylanBain]

Hello, 

What I have is a population of unit installed at various locations within the service area. Each unit is tagged to a location ID and a set of GPS coordinates in lat and long decimal format. Once I turn the lat and long into points a plot them on a map, it is clear that some of coordinates are outside the service area. What I would like to do is to create a list of all those location IDs that have coordinates outside the service area but am unsure to leverage Alteryx to do that. Thoughts?

Hi @DylanBain 

What you would need is a Spatial match tool.

Here is a iterative lesson on it

Hope this helps : )

If this helps please mark the post as solution.

Awesome, thanks. Do you know of a quick way to draw the poly to represent the service area, maybe by licking points on a map or is it a manual process of looking up the coordinates and creating a polygon?

Hi @DylanBain 

You answer would be create polygon

Convex polygon

Try this.
