Python in Field Calculator

[WilliamKaptein]

I'm using the python example named on http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Calculate_Field_examples/005s0000002m00000...

Parser:
Python

Expression:
Reclass(!WELL_YIELD!)

Code Block:
def Reclass(WellYield):
  if (WellYield >= 0 and WellYield <= 10):
    return 1
  elif (WellYield > 10 and WellYield <= 20):
    return 2
  elif (WellYield > 20 and WellYield <= 30):
    return 3
  elif (WellYield > 30):
    return 4

But i want to use this with 4 categories. So a wellyield with value 8 and category 1 gets a 1 return but a wellyield with value 8 and category 2 gets a 5 return and so on...

For example:

def Reclass(WellYield):
  if (Category = 1 and WellYield >= 0 and WellYield <= 720):
    return 10
  elif (Category = 1 and WellYield > 721 and WellYield <= 1085):
    return 20
  elif (Category = 1 and WellYield > 1086 and WellYield <= 1450):
    return 30
  elif (Category = 1 and  WellYield > 1451):
    return 40

  if (Category = 2 and WellYield >= 0 and WellYield <= 720):
    return 20
  elif (Category = 2 and WellYield > 721 and WellYield <= 1085):
    return 30
  elif (Category = 2 and WellYield > 1086 and WellYield <= 1450):
    return 40
  elif (Category = 2 and WellYield > 1451):
    return 50

  if (Category = 3 and WellYield >= 0 and WellYield <= 720):
    return 30
  elif (Category = 3 and WellYield > 721 and WellYield <= 1085):
    return 40
  elif (Category = 3 and WellYield > 1086 and WellYield <= 1450):
    return 50
  elif (Category = 3 and WellYield > 1451):
    return 60

  if (Category = 4 and  WellYield >= 0 and WellYield <= 720):
    return 40
  elif (Category = 4 and  WellYield > 721 and WellYield <= 1085):
    return 50
  elif (Category = 4 and  WellYield > 1086 and WellYield <= 1450):
    return 60
  elif (Category = 4 and  WellYield > 1451):
    return 70

But of course this one doesnt work. How do i get it to work ?

Thx in advance

Is Category another field? If so you will need to pass it to the function.

In your previous code you don't account for well yield values of 721, 1086, or 1451
How about something like this:

def reclass(category,WellYield):
    try:
        if WellYield >= 0 and WellYield <= 720:
            yld = 1
        if WellYield >= 721 and WellYield <= 1085:
            yld= 2
        if WellYield >= 1086 and WellYield <= 1450:
            yld = 3
        if WellYield >= 1451:
            yld = 4
            
        catYield = ''.join([str(category),str(yld)])       
        
        reclassDict = {'11':10,'12':20,'13':30,'14':40,
                       '21':20,'22':30,'23':40,'24':50,
                       '31':30,'32':40,'33':50,'34':60,
                       '41':40,'42':50,'43':60,'44':70}
        
        value = reclassDict[catYield]
        return value
    except:
        pass

Expression

reclass(!CATEGORY!,WELL_YIELD!)
