Hello All,

I am trying to do something that I am rather unfamiliar with. I do not know attribute rules too well and I am looking at the best way to have a calculation off of a field on another table. There are GlobalID fields on both tables that are being used as my join field so I can tell what to update what. For example: I would like it when you update [FieldA] on [Table1] I would like it to gather the sum of [FieldA] on [Table2] and populate [FieldB] on [Table1], this would be done by using [GlobalID] on [Table1] and [Table2GlobalID] on [Table2] as my joining fields.

I am not sure if I need a join set up to allow if to be seen. I am not exactly sure what the best way to do this is. 

I hope this explains what I am trying to do.

Thank you in advanced. 

Thank you

Okay I did a little bit more  research and realized my error. I was not doing anything correctly. I want to have Elevation - InvertDownField in my new field which is currently blank. 

Elevation is [Table2].[FieldA]

InvertDownField is [Table1].[FieldA]

Here is what  I have

// Calculation Attribute Rule on Table1
// field: FieldB, Table1
// triggers: insert, update

// load the related features of Table2 using one of these methods:

var fs_table2 = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "[Table2]", ["*"], false)
var key = $feature.GlobalID
fs_table2 = Filter(fs_table2, "Table2GlobalID = @key")

// get the minus of the two tables

//This is from Table 2
var t2_a_minus1 = Sum(fs_table2, "Elevation") 

//This is from Table 1
var t2_a_minus2 = $feature.InvertDownField

// return
return t2_a_minus1 - t2_a_minus2

 

Thank you

// if you have a relationship class between the tables:
var fs_table2 = FeatureSetByRelationshipName($datastore, "NameOfTheRelationshipClass", ["*"], false)

var key = $feature.GlobalID
fs_table2 = Filter(fs_table2, "Table2GlobalID = @key")

// get the sum of Table2.FieldA
var t2_a_sum = Sum(fs_table2, "FieldA")

// return
return t2_a_sum

Have a great day!

Johannes,

Thank you so much for getting back to me on this.

I am not getting this to work it keeps populating everything with "nan" I am thinking it is because of null values in either of  the fields.

They also wanted minus but I do not think that is the issue because it does not seem to be working with sum either. 

Here is what I have can you further assist? 

// load the related features of Table2 using one of these methods:

var fs_table2 = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "[Database].[TableName]", ["*"], false)
var key = $feature.GlobalID
fs_table2 = Filter(fs_table2, "Table2GlobalID = @key")

// get the minus of the two tables
var t2_a_sum = iif ($feature.invertDownField < 1, 0,
iif ("Elevation" < 1, 0, "Elevation" - $feature.invertDownField)))

// return
return t2_a_sum

OK, that probably gets a little more complicated. But I can't make sense of your equation.

Am I correct in guessing that Elevation is a field in Table2, and invertDownField is a field in Table1?

Can you describe what you want to calculate?


Have a great day!
