ArcGIS Pro 2.5: How to label features based on two fields with each label on a separate line?

ArcGIS Pro 2.5: How to label features based on two fields?

For example, in ArcMap features can be labeled based on two fields such that labels can aligned vertically by using the expression below:

[Male] & vbnewline & [Female]

How this can be performed in Pro?

Honestly, I was mixing the Labels expressions with Field calculator operations!

in the Field calculator, there is no VBScript option anymore! but in the label expressions, it's still there and you can use it as the following.

<SPAN class="string token">"Area A: "</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_A<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN> vbnewline <SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"Area B: "</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_B<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN> vbnewline <SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"Area C:"</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">&</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_C<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

If you decided to use python here is how you can do it, but again I was under the assumption that the label expressions behave exactly as the field calculator; this is why I suggested using "!" instead of [] which was wrong.

here is the correct way to do it:

<SPAN class="keyword token">def</SPAN> FindLabel <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_A<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_B<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_C<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>
    mylabel<SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"Area A:"</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_A<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"\n"</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"Area B: "</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_B<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"\n"</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"Area C: "</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_C<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
    <SPAN class="keyword token">return</SPAN> mylabel<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Or a more concise method by using .format to concatenate the string as Dan mentioned in his post

<SPAN class="keyword token">def</SPAN> FindLabel <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_A<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_B<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_C<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>
    <SPAN class="keyword token">return</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"Area A:{}\n Area B:{}\n Area C:{}"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>format<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_A<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_B<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>Area_C<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Example:

Text($feature.Density, '#.###') + TextFormatting.NewLine + $feature.EACode

With the vbscript language option, the Pro does take the table number formats to the label as it is used to work in ArcMap.

Thanks Dan.

The code is below:

[Male] + "\n" + [Female]

DanPatterson_Retired

"{},\n{}" plus the rest

\n is the newline in python

JamalNUMAN

Thanks Dan.

But what is the code that lets the labels appear vertically instead of horizontally?

def FindLabel ( [Male], [Female]):


    return "{}, {}".format ( [Male], [Female])
