Is there a way to select a record based on the highest value of a field? And also is there a way to check if a record is selected based on the highest value before I update a record? Thanks
Rhett, Please disregard my dumb question 🙂 It was really the problem with the tab! It is working great! I will post another thread if I have any more questions about the updating of rows using this type of selection! Thank you so much! You rock!
I was wondering if you posted that before you saw the last post about the tab. That was confusing as could be, as my code "looked" the same, but I got different results typing it in vs running my script.
As far as the sort and fields, the myField+" D" lets me pass the field as a variable so I can use in a def for multiple FC's. As you can see in my last posting, I hard coded it to OBJECTID, so can be done either way.
I created a toolbox and added the script and I am running from there, when I click on the script.
Makes sense. So, Arc is doing the featurelayer for you. Keep in mind that if you ever try to export this out as standalone, you will get the error and have to MakeFeatureLayer first for the selection tool.
Not sure, but it is my understanding that, running within arc, arc will on the fly create/substitue a feature layer for tools that require it, so if the FC's are the same, I think the tool will work fine.
Thank you Rhett, I am going to create another thread because I have a question about the query for the select by attribute parameter! Thank you again!!!
