Hello, I have a question regarding Summary Statistics in ArcPy. I am working with a feature class that contains points whose attributes are two string fields called "CATEGORY" and "NAME". I would like to count the number of points by category. I believe the summary statistics is very useful in this case. So the syntax would be: arcpy.Statistics_analysis(<points>, <points_dbf>, [["CATEGORY", "COUNT"]], "CATEGORY") NOTE: the <> are used to simplify the input and output table of course! I did not code it like that! 🙂 When I run it as a stand alone script I got a message saying that the ,<points_dbf> cannot be created. It is actually created but it is empty. I think the mistake can be in the way I am passing the fields and statistics required AND I also have a rather sinister feeling... Do the fields HAVE to be numeric? I am sure and tested in both ModelBuilder and Python Window they do not have to be numeric. Any help appreciated!
