Is it possible to increase the maximum records returned in the Business Locator report of ArcGIS Business Analyst?

Last Published: August 27, 2020

Answer

The Business Locator report is designed to return a maximum of 250 records of businesses within the proximity of the study area location. While it is not possible to increase the maximum records in the Business Locator report, a possible workaround is to use the Business and Facilities Search option to query businesses, and export up to 5000 records to a Microsoft Excel report. To do so, follow the steps below.
