I am looking to create a for look to loop through all my ListFields and the Field name is one of the parameters in a Spatial Statistic tool. Can anyone help please....

I am having trouble understanind what variable to declare.

I might be misunderstanding, but if you want to loop through all field names in a feature class, you can use arcpy.ListFields.

Something like this might work:

import arcpy

allFields=arcpy.ListFields("C://Path//To//Data.shp")

for field in allFields:
    print "Field Name: "+ field.name
    #Do stuff here

Let me know if that helps at all.

thank you, thank you, thank you!

import arcpy

arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\StatsCanada.gdb\Saskatchewan"
featureclass = ("PopulatedCentres")
allFields=arcpy.ListFields(featureclass)

for field in allFields:
    arcpy.SpatialAutocorrelation_stats(featureclass, field.name,"GENERATE_REPORT","INVERSE_DISTANCE","EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE","NONE","#","#")


So I got this, but it doesn't like the fields at the beginning of the fields. Any idea how to just get the fields with numbers in them?

Try using "field.type", like this:

import arcpy

arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\StatsCanada.gdb\Saskatchewan"
featureclass = ("PopulatedCentres")

allFields=arcpy.ListFields(featureclass)

for field in allFields:
    if field.type in ["Double","Integer","SmallInteger"]:
        arcpy.SpatialAutocorrelation_stats(featureclass, field.name,"GENERATE_REPORT","INVERSE_DISTANCE","EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE","NONE","#","#")

If you want a bit more information on all the field types, you can find it here.
Hope it helps!
