"If Row Count Is" missundertanding - ModelBuilder

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to select from a dataset from a feature class. Then I would like to know if there are any records to make a buffer. I'm trying to do that using "If Row Count Is" tool, but I think I'm not understanding because the next tools has became in gray.

Any help?

Thanks a lot.

It doesn't work either 😕  The get count tool derives an integer, in this case is zero, but the "If Row Count Is" tool is expecting a "table view", it takes the row count value as a condition.

Will there be another easier way to do this?

Hi Jayanta,

It's a Select tool "Select Doble Calzada" and its parameters are:

On the other hand, I tried the "If Data Exists" tool, but the problem is the select tool creates a feature class with zero records, and the "If Data Exists" tool evaluates if there is a feature class but not if it has any records.

Best regards,

you have to get the row count then the branching tool checks the result
