On Value field I choose the field I want to use (vegetation type, can be 0, 1 or 2). When choosing input features, I choose a polygon layer. Zip the File GDB containing the joined dataset and upload it to AGOL, publishing it as a hosted feature layer. I use the polygon to raster-tool (Conversation tools -> To raster -> Polygon to raster).Open the new joined dataset to review the output, make sure it looks okay, and delete any fields you don't need.I would recommend making the join's output a File GDB feature class, in a new File GDB, but a shapefile would work as well. short form, abbreviations, etc.) the join won't work as expected, in all likelihood some of your polygons will be missing.

One thing to keep in mind is that the names of each record have to be an exact match between the geographic dataset you're using and your Excel data, if the names deviate in any way (long form vs.
