Hi all!
I was wondering how to go about adding a hyperlink en masse to an attribute table. It would seem straight forward, but I am running into an issue.The scenario is thus: I am trying to add a hyperlink that references another field.
www.company.com/generalinfo.aspx?ParcelID=field i need to reference here
I've tried it with ' ' and with ! ! around the field. I went to this page FAQ: Is it possible to add a hyperlink path to a field in ArcGIS Pro? and tried using this in the field calculator to no avail. I keep getting a syntax error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
You are building your string expression incorrectly, try:
<SPAN class="string token">'http://www2.alleghenycounty.us/RealEstate/GeneralInfo.aspx?ParcelID={}'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>format<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>!LOWPARCELID!<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
can you screenshot the input and error on field calculator? are you using the python interpreter when using ! !
I am trying to get this to work similarly to
However, I think they created that link within the webmap configure popup box on arc online. If i could do that en masse I would within the arc online environment, but I cannot fathom how that would be done. Hence the calculate field and just make it a part of the record.
encase it all in double quotes as your single quotes will have confused 'lowparcelid' in the string
should the whole thing be in single or double quotes?
No. You should read up on building string expressions using Python's string.format(): string — Common string operations — Python 3.8.3 documentation
Thank you so much Joshua Bixby! that did the trick exactly!!!
