Calculate Field IF Statement

CameronKoehler — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 20:38:54 GMT

I apologize in advance, I am new to ArcGIS Pro. Is there an IF statement that can be calculated that says if the Street Name field begins with "State Highway" then return "State Highway" in the Street Pre Type field?

Attached is a screenshot showing the two fields in the feature class.

Open the field calculator on the empty field (field1), set to Python.

In code block put your if statement in a function:

def check_value(field2):

if "X" in field2:

return "X"

elif "Y" in field2:

return "Y"

else:

return None

Then in the top box call your function and point it at the second field:

check_value(!Field2!)
