I have the following map of a state with its precincts inside of it:



enter image description here



Is there any way that I can get a list of the precincts that are on the border of the state? I have been looking through the different tools that ArcMap has but I cant find anything useful.

          1. Dissolve to get one big state polygon

          2. Use Select by Location with spatial query "Are completely within" to select precincts that are not on the border of dissolved state polygon


          3. Switch selection to select the ones on the border

            I think the spatial query "share a line segment with" may also work (without the switch selection).

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
