hi all - just running through my myriad Qs about AGOL, to which I am totally brand new... how could I go about getting a transparent logo in the corner of my slides? thanks! cj

hi all - brand new to AGOL so please bear with me... I've made a couple of slides in a presentation, but, can I change the look of the slide titles? the default is the slightly transparent black rectangle with rounded corners - would love to change that along with the font, size, etc... thanks! cj

ok ok ok ok ok! that got it, thanks wes (and luke) for giving me a hand with this. I thought perhaps the 5401 layer was unreachable from the DD page layer, since there was no join and they, for all I could tell, were just separate layers not talking to each other. turns out with the page defn in the 5401 layer, I can still turn off any of the DD names that 'don't match'. really glad I asked, thanks for sorting me out! cj

hey thanks wes... no that didn't do it, but with the explanation I've given it may be very tough to know what I've done. maybe this will shed some light on it: the DD layer has 34 rows (taken down from 5401 when joined to a 34 entry excel file). the duplicate I made on your suggestion has 1 row, which I can cycle through the 34 with by clicking the DD toolbar fwd/back arrows. it's the 5401 labels I'm after, those that are not currently showing because the join to the 34-row .xlsx file excluded them. I guess I only want the other 5400 labels, as 1 will be the layer on which there is emphasis. perhaps the issue is that I don't want different labels for only the other 33 polys, I want it for all (5400) non-current-DD polys. I hope that makes some sense. if I turn on the labels for the 5401 polys (in a dup layer I made easily enough) - I get them all, but unfortunately also with the label for the DD poly which is current; so I wind up with 2 labels on a given poly; the big attention grabbing one for the current DD poly, and the mini label which I've got on all remainder. thanks again for reading... cj

yes for sure, have done so, thanks again xb....

thanks for replying wes.... ok I duplicated the DD layer, and a third label appeared (of course), but, when I went into the page defn query, I tried all combinations (ie match, don't match), it didn't remove the small label on my 5401 layer. the 5401 poly layer is totally separate from the DD layer so I'm not sure how the page defn will be able to affect it, but of course I don't know much about DD pages.... thanks again, cj

hi all and thanks for reading... new to the DD pages. I currently have it enabled on a layer with 5401 records, down to 34 because it is joined to an excel file with 34 rows. it works well. I'm stuck on the labels. I have labels I like for the data driven records (34 of them), they are bigger and more prominent. I do however also want the other 5401 (well I guess 5400; minus the current DD page poly) to be labelled, but differently, with less emphasis. when I duplicate my DD layer and unjoin it from the .xlsx, I get my 5401 rows back, fine. but when I label that layer, of course I also get the label for the current DD page - so the current poly on my DD pages has TWO labels - the big one from it's layer, AND the little label from the layer with all 5401 polys. so, how can I remove the small label from the duplicate layer from the poly with current DD focus? I hope I've explained that half decently - hadn't see DD pages until yesterday... thanks, chris j

thanks for replying XB.... it seems I had clipping turned on in my data frame properties, that was it!!

hi all, thanks for reading... new to this data driven pages business; if I use the wrong terminology etc just read b/t the lines as best you can... I have set up DD pages in arcgis 10 and had success, cycling through 34 polygon extents from a 5401 polygon layer after joining a 34 row excel file to it. that's good. but, now I also want to show all 5401 polys from the original file underneath the 34 that have been data driven (in a different symbology). when I copy the DD pages layer (the 5401 down to 34 courtesy of 34-row .xlsx) and detach the excel file from the join, sure enough I can get 5401 rows in that table, but, I can't see any of them on the map? they are selectable and zoom-to-able (flash green but then gone). I suspect that the DD pages being enabled is limiting me (maybe, not guaranteed), but, if I disable the DD pages in its toolbar, my original set of DD pages (the 34, which I want) is lost because both the original DD pages layer AND the duplicate I made to un-join have the same name - what can one do? not sure I've explained that perfectly but I appreciate any input...thanks! cj

hey thanks for the info and link darren, this is probably going to take me to what I need... if you or anyone has a moment, I would find a literal example to be extremely helpful - I'm pretty new to this and might not get this syntax on my own... also: does it matter if the data fields in question are in an excel spreadsheet, joined to the map data? I don't expect it will but thought I'd double check. thanks again! chris j

well, advanced to me anyway....thanks all for giving this a shot: I have big dollar values in my data which will appear in the labels; some will be in the hundreds of thousands, some will be in the millions. I've been asked to label then with suffixes depending on their amount: $945728.73 should appear as $946M (in the hundreds of thousands) $1726538.34 should appear as $1.7MM (in the millions) I'm ok with simple vb label rounding, ie. round(value,2), easy, but I'm way out of my depth with this new one, can anyone guide me? thanks! cj

hi guys and thanks for reading... long time mapinfo user trying to get to grips with arcGIS 9.3... simple task right now but I'm stuck; i have a shapefile with 80 points. I need to produce a table showing the five closest points to each one and the distances for each of the 5.....I'm guessing the resulting table will be 400 records long, those being each of the 80 points appearing 5 times each, with their distances from each of those 5? any guidance for this newbie is greatly appreciated... thanks, cj

TKONG that was exactly what I was after and it worked perfectly, thanks very much!!

thanks in advance for reading guys; long time mapinfo user now trying to get to grips with arcgis 9.3.... I have pointfile1 and bufferfile2. several points from pointfile1 fall within several polygons in bufferfile2, lots of overlapping. what I'm trying to do is have a new column (or columns if need be) in the bufferfile2 that has a list of all the pointfile1 IDs that fall within it, that's it. I'm not sure how to start; in mapinfo I would use mapbasic, and in arcgis9.3 I can see that the field calc is limited to the current table or maybe not what I'm after here anyway. I'm aware that python is the scripter of choice for ESRI but know very little of it, but am willing to give it a go....any step by step guidance here would be very gratefully received, thanks all. thanks, chrisj
