If each state is represented as a closed polyline, then I think the following would do what you want: Turn closed polyline for state into FLE data (see documentation). Take your_data_grid, and rename "data" to "data_real". Then Map(input = your_data_grid, map = state_fle_data). The resulting your_data_grid will have valid positions only inside the state FLE boundary. This gives you the data points that were inside the state boundary. Mike
