Arcade expression to find min() not zero

[SeanSummers_CC]

Hi!  I am trying to get familiar with the new Arcade language.  Specifically as used in Attribute Rules.

I am trying to create an Arcade expression to calculate a field in ArcGIS Pro. In my streets feature there are 4 number fields to evaluate. I can easily use the Min() function to do this. The problem that I am having is sometimes there is a 0 in one or more fields. I need the lowest number that is not a 0. In python I had this script which worked well:

min([x for x in ( !L_F_ADD!, !L_T_ADD!, !R_F_ADD!, !R_T_ADD!) if x is not 0])

I have tried redoing this in Arcade but can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Hi spsummers ,

You are probably not going to like it, but those powerful python list comprehensions are not available in arcade. Can you try this?

var minv = 99999;
var arr =[$feature[L_F_ADD], $feature[L_T_ADD], $feature[L_F_ADD], $feature[L_T_ADD]];
for (var i in arr) {
    var v = arr[i];
    if (v!=0 && !IsEmpty(v)) {
        if (v < minv) {
            minv = v;
        }
    }
}

if (minv == 99999) {
    return null;    
} else {
    return minv;
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thank you! Your code worked.  I also asked this question on another forum (Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange )  The solution presented by Hornbydd is this:

var inArray = [$feature.FromAddr_L,$feature.ToAddr_L,$feature.FromAddr_R,$feature.ToAddr_R];
var sortedArray;
sortedArray = sort(inArray);
for(var i in sortedArray)
{
if (sortedArray > 0) break;        
}
return sortedArray;

Both solutions work in the Field Calculator.  It will be interesting to see if they work in the Attribute Rules.



Thank you!

Hi spsummers ,

That is correct, I thought about this too, but I didn't know if you had any negative values to consider. Thanks for sharing.
