For example I have the area of a SDE park layer in SHAPE.AREA, but it is in m2 because the layer is in NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_17N. I want to show the area in hectares (m2 / 10000). How do I do this? Also, is it possible to add two (or more) fields together and display it in dynamic text?&nbsp; Adding fields in a SDE layer everytime I want to do some math is not a feasible option. The labeling allows math to be done, but I want it in dynamic text where it doesn't cover the features in the map.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>David</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:53:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/doing-math-on-in-dynamic-text/m-p/389845#M4153 David_van_Riel 2012-10-11T14:53:44Z Re: Doing Math On/In Dynamic Text https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/doing-math-on-in-dynamic-text/m-p/389846#M4154 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>No. Dynamic Text provides many different formatting options for dates, times, coord systems, etc but it does not provide the logic to perform mathematical operations.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You would need to incorporate Python and then use arcpy.mapping to update text elements in a layout.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jeff</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:09:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/doing-math-on-in-dynamic-text/m-p/389846#M4154 JeffBarrette 2012-10-12T13:09:22Z Re: Doing Math On/In Dynamic Text https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/doing-math-on-in-dynamic-text/m-p/1570304#M8608 <P>huge limitation</P> Thu, 19 Dec 2024 18:44:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/doing-math-on-in-dynamic-text/m-p/1570304#M8608 JoabelBarbieri 2024-12-19T18:44:57Z
