Hexagon binningSet up bins for initial scale
Hexagonal binning helps up-scale 50K wells• Ken Field on Esri blog:
Presenting point-based data on a web map is challenging because of the problem of overlapping symbology, particularly as you zoom out of the map to view data at smaller scales. So-called push-pin web maps are very easy to make with ArcGIS Online but making the map make visual sense at the smaller scales requires a little more work. In this blog entry we illustrate how data binning can be used to aggregate large point-based datasets into hexagonal polygons to overcome the problem and improve the web map across all scales.
Adapted beehive model
Workflow tip: store interim steps in default DB, final results in repository

Hexagon 10km by first spud date1
• Summary Statistics 1st Spud date still date/time format• Joined table may lose added and calculated fields, so:• export it join as a table• add a FIRST_SPUD_YEAR field as short integer• and in Field Calculator do:
FIRST_SPUD_YEAR = DatePart ( “yyyy”, [FIRST_SPUD_DATE] )
Workflow tip: export to repository, not default DB as this is a final, not an interim stepCaution: depending on repository DB, date argument may change (MS SQL Server here)

Reduce data density & overlap to better post online
• Explore hive sizes as compared to data density & extent
• Adjusted scales reflect hexagon size & speed up zooming
• Suggest scripts be run using default names, then rename by scale• renaming script output can mess up Model Builder in background• Models can be corrupted, so if results are odd &/or tables misread
• either restart session• or restore original model• or convert to Python scripts See a Story Map of the same!
