To be honest, create your 00001, 00002 in excel when concatenate with 'PVT' and paste the field into your table.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Feb 2020 23:22:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-calculate-a-string-field-with-text-and/m-p/17992#M1415 DavidPike 2020-02-19T23:22:31Z Re: How to calculate a string field with text and sequential numbers in ArcPro https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-calculate-a-string-field-with-text-and/m-p/17993#M1416 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I really am not a fan of using Python global in this context, but since you have already started down this path the easiest way to get what you want is to change the final line of the code in your screenshot:</P><PRE class="language-python line-numbers"><CODE><SPAN class="keyword token">return</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"PVT{:05}"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>format<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>rec<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Feb 2020 23:33:01 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-calculate-a-string-field-with-text-and/m-p/17993#M1416 JoshuaBixby 2020-02-19T23:33:01Z
