I have a drain pipe layer that includes fields for upstream elevation, downstream elevation, and length. I want to calculate the slope. However, the fields are all string fields. Is there a way to do this in ArcGIS Pro without adding or otherwise changing the fields? I remember in the old days with avenue you could use a thing like {field}.asnumber or {field}.asstring to a calculate function to do stuff like this, but I don't know if there's a way to do it in Pro. Thanks!
