Hi-

 

I'm trying to label a field using an expression.

 

I want the attribute to be labeled with field x except when field x equals "other" than I want it to be labeled with field y.

 

I don't know how to write the code/expression.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi Kaitlyn,

Here is an example on how to do this using the Python parser:

def FindLabel ([FIELDX], [FIELDY] ):

  if  [FIELDX] == 'other':

    return [FIELDY]

  else:

    return [FIELDX]

Below is a screen shot of the Label Expression dialog:
