Export Table to Feature Class

MarkYoung — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 08:03:27 GMT

Hi,
Working within Model Builder (10.1) I have a feature class and run the summary statistics tool to sum lengths of attributes according to a field. I want to take the table (within a file geodatabase) and export to a feature class within the same geodatabase but all the tools seem to export table to table only.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
Mark

A feature class is a dataset with geometry stored for each record. The data you want to copy/export is a table which has no geometry so it can't be stored as a feature class. Why do you want to export the table to a feature class and not just to a table?

Can you use this and use your outcome as the "input feature"?

Mark, why not use the dissolve tool, which seems to serve your purpose well.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
Zach's dissolve solution serves my purpose. I had used the statistics tool to sum one of the columns but that converted the feature class to a table and I needed to have the results available as a visible layer.
