Hi everyone. I am trying to populate a field using unique identification based on two existing fields. Background: I ran the Density-Based Clustering tool on a set of points. The output creates a new field called 'Cluster ID' which groups clusters sequentially. If the input points are not a cluster they are assigned "-1". I created a new field called 'UOID' which copies the field from the 'Cluster ID' unless "-1", in that case it copies the field from the 'Source ID'. Problem: There are instances where both fields will be copied to the new field 'UOID' (for instance the number 1). Is there a python script that will allow me to populate the new field 'UOID' adding unique identification to distinguish which fields were copied? For instance can i put a "C" in front of the copied fields from the 'Cluster ID' field and a "S" in front of the 'Source ID'? Take a look at my data. Long story short i need a way to distinguish which fields were copied using unique identification.  Thank you very much!! ... View more

Hi there everyone. First of all thanks for helping, and I realize I need some tutorials in python and can hopefully address that soon. Problem: Using the Calculate Field tool I would like copy values from two other fields based on specific criteria. For instance I have a new field called "UnathorizedOccupantID". I would like to copy values from the field called "ClusterID", however when there is a value of -1 I would like to copy the corresponding values from the "SourceID" field. As seen here: I believe this will get me to the next part of the analysis which is aggregating the cluster ID's using the Dissolve tool. Thanks for any help it is greatly appreciated! ... View more
