Spatial tool to filter locations in a certain region.

[tutankamon]

Hi everyone,

I have a dataset with many locations, most of them are from Spain (the region that I am interested in) but some of them belong to other countries. I would like to filter only the Spanish locations but I do not know how. I thought of setting a maximum distance from the center of my region or to download a Spanish map to check if the points are there, but I dont know how to do this. I attach the dataset I am working with. 

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, you can donwload the boundaries for Spain through a shapefile and use a spatial match with you data.

Please find the workflow in attachment.

The shapefile data has been found here

Hi @WilliamR,

Are you aware of polygon data for countries but without seas territories (as it is in those data)?

My objective is to be able to place data on maps.

Thanks.
