conditional labeling in ArcMap

WinstonSastroredjo — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:07:22 GMT

L.S.

I have an event which projects producing wells in Arcmap.
The fieldnames are: Wellname, Field, Xcoord, Ycoord, Latitude, Longitude, etc...
If I only want to display a certain well (e.g. from 29Nowugs04 to 29NOWUGS04) in full capital letters how should the label expression look like in VBScript?

Thanks in advanced.

Winston,

try:

Function FindLabel ([Wellname])
if ([Wellname] = '29Nowugs04') then
FindLabel = UCase([Wellname])
else
FindLabel = [Wellname]
end if
End Function

Regards

Anthony

Don't use single quote, use double quotes instead.

Function FindLabel ([Wellname])   if ([Wellname] = "29Nowugs04") then    FindLabel = UCase([Wellname])   else   FindLabel = [Wellname]   end if End Function

I get the same error if I use single quotes.
