There are often locations missing, so the list won't be consecutive. Right now I have the code below which accomplishes that, but if there is a single non consecutive location it lists it as a range itself i.e. 5-5. Is there a way to edit the script to prevent this?</P><P>loc_numbers = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(join_lyr, "Map_ID")]</P><P><BR />ranges = sum((list(t) for t in zip(loc_numbers, loc_numbers[1:]) if t[0]+1 != t[1]), [])<BR />iranges = iter(loc_numbers[0:1] + ranges + loc_numbers[-1:])<BR />range_values = ', '.join([str(n) + '-' + str(next(iranges)) for n in iranges])</P> Thu, 27 Oct 2022 16:27:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/calculating-ranges-of-non-consecutive-list/m-p/1226224#M65959 MAmbrosini 2022-10-27T16:27:38Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/calculating-ranges-of-non-consecutive-list/m-p/1226323#M65962 <P>Here is a very inelegant way to do it - add this after your code</P><LI-CODE lang="c">fixed_range_values = ', '.join([r if r.split('-')[0] != r.split('-')[1] else r.split('-')[0] for r in range_values.replace(' ','').split(',')])</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 27 Oct 2022 19:01:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/calculating-ranges-of-non-consecutive-list/m-p/1226323#M65962 DonMorrison1 2022-10-27T19:01:40Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/calculating-ranges-of-non-consecutive-list/m-p/1228369#M66016 <P>That worked, thank you!</P> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 15:39:27 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/calculating-ranges-of-non-consecutive-list/m-p/1228369#M66016 MAmbrosini 2022-11-03T15:39:27Z
