I have an assignment where the class was given a geodatabase and our deliverables are to create a model to summarize&nbsp; a field. The field is a text and it would be preferable to take that field and change its data type to an integer to summarize that new field. I would appreciate any help in how to take an existing field and make a new one with a different data type.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:14:50 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-questions/help-with-modelbuilder/m-p/774305#M3321 deleted-user-tsMjSkj99hAc 2015-02-10T19:14:50Z Re: Help with ModelBuilder https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-questions/help-with-modelbuilder/m-p/774306#M3322 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Jonathan,</P><P></P><P>You can easily add a new field with numeric field type.&nbsp; Then just calculate the value of the field from the existing field.&nbsp; Then you should be able to summarize it.</P><P></P><P>This can all be done using ArcCatalog and the toolbox.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P></P><P>Tom</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:19:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-questions/help-with-modelbuilder/m-p/774306#M3322 TomSellsted 2015-02-10T19:19:08Z Re: Help with ModelBuilder https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-questions/help-with-modelbuilder/m-p/774307#M3323 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you so much Tom.
