Attribute Rules Invalid Expression: Close parenthesis expected

SterlingLoetz — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 00:55:02 GMT

I can't figure out what is wrong with this expression. I'm trying to calculate an attribute in a point feature class from an intersecting polygon feature using Attribute Rules. I keep getting the error for "Close parenthesis expected" on line 8 but I have no idea why?

Thanks for your help!

What is "layer.Org IA SqFt"? I'm guessing it's the presence of spaces that is causing the issue. If that's an attribute, try layer['Org IA SqFt'], perhaps.

In line 1 it appears to be shown as ORG_IA_SqFt (note the under_scores).

Thanks @JoeBorgione and @jcarlson for your input. Sometimes the simplest questions lead to the best answers. Putting in underscores worked!
