When you use the Delete field tool on a featureclass in a geopackage it throws a 002557 error. My idea is simply to enable the delete field tool to interact with a geopackage table and allow you to delete the field. Improving ArcPro's ability to interact with such data formats will encourage the uptake and hopefully the replacement of a shapefile.

Without showing your workings, how you run the tool, what the parameter inputs were, it's not possible to answer this question. You need to edit your question and add much more detail. Currently your question is akin to saying my car won't start, and my first response is have you put the key in the ignition?

Having spaces and characters that are not letters or number is bad practise for folder names and invalid for geodatabase feature classes. You are digging yourself into a big hole, especially if you need to automate processing with model builder and or python. Don't do it!

I have edited the model to work as intended, please review comments in model.

My apologies I missed that you wanted the top four values. I'm not sure (but I could be wrong) that a file geodatabase can support the functions that would allow you to answer this question and you need to approach it in a two-step approach in modelbuilder, this how I would have done it. I show this below, in my example I am processing a layer called ORN: The Calculate Value tool is set up as-is, note it returns double: The code block is: def Fourth(layer): # You need to set field to the appropriate field field = "SourceID" s = set() with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(layer, field) as cursor: for row in cursor: if row[0] is not None: s.add(row[0]) l = sorted(s, reverse=True) ml = l[0:4] # first 4 values in sorted list mv = min(ml) # Get min value return mv The select by attribute tool is: This logic will select the top four values in the field sourceID, be aware that the selection may return a selection greater than 4 if you have duplicate values in your field. Also underlying assumption of the code is that you have a minimum of 4 unique values in your field.

As long as your data is in a file geodatabase (so not a shape file) you can use a subquery to answer this. An example is shown below, in this example ORN is the layer.

No, I came to the conclusion its some sort of bug based upon number of unique values, so my code just traps the error and fails gracefully.

Good find! That is hard to find on the esri github site. What blows my mind is that it appears to be the only sample in VB...

Hi, Thanks for the pointer to the website. I had actually seen this thread before I posted (i.e. had done my research) and followed the link to the code conversion website and tried their example; problem was is when you paste it into visual studio 2022 it throws an error but gives no real indication why. In my random stumbling around in the vastness of the internet I had seen some comment, probably on this forum, about what seems to be an undocumented addition to the code that needs to be done if you are developing a button for the ArcPro ribbon and that's the inclusion of the command "Async" in the OnClick Sub declaration. I've posted the solution over on GIS StackExchange but provide it here too. It provides a simple VISUAL BASIC template for building code that requires running as a QueuedTask. Protected Overrides Async Sub OnClick() ' Code assumes layerfile is referencing a geodatabase featureclass. Dim b As Boolean b = Await QueuedTask.Run(Function() ' Connect to layer file Dim sLayerFilePath As String sLayerFilePath = "c:\scratch\ORN2.lyrx" Dim lyrDoc As LayerDocument lyrDoc = New LayerDocument(sLayerFilePath) ' Create a CIM layer document object Dim cimLayerDoc As CIMLayerDocument cimLayerDoc = lyrDoc.GetCIMLayerDocument ' Create a CIM Feature Layer object Dim cimFeaturelyr As CIMFeatureLayer cimFeaturelyr = CType(cimLayerDoc.LayerDefinitions(0), CIMFeatureLayer) ' Create a CIM Standard Data Connection Dim cimSDCon As CIMStandardDataConnection cimSDCon = CType(cimFeaturelyr.FeatureTable.DataConnection, CIMStandardDataConnection) ' Create a full path name string to feature class Dim sPath As String Dim sFC As String sPath = cimSDCon.WorkspaceConnectionString sFC = cimSDCon.Dataset Dim sFullpath As String sFullpath = sPath & "\" & sFC sFullpath = sFullpath.Remove(0, 9) ' Removes DATABASE= from start of string MsgBox(sFullpath, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Feature class Path") Return True End Function) End Sub If there is anyone from the ESRI documentation team reading this, it would be good if you expand your snippets on the GITHUB site to include some sample code in Visual Basic. Why has ESRI abandoned VB? When you go to the esri git hub site and search for code language in VB it returns nothing!

Hi I'm hoping someone from esri can shed some light on some simple coding style. As requested in this idea there is a remarkable lack of sample code in Visual Basic. I've spent much of my career using VB and ArcObjects in ArcMap and now facing the challenge of developing in ArcPro. I would like to avoid having to sink months/possibly years into becoming proficient in c# when I know VB! I understand that beneath the hood ArcPro is a very different beast requiring different coding styles because of its multi-threaded nature and that many things have to be done differently. That's OK when simple, easy to digest samples are provided to fast track ones self. I've discovered that many of the objects I need to use must be run in a queuedtask but all the examples on the esri github site are all in the cryptic c# language. I have some simple code that opens a layerfile on a onclick of a button. I cannot for the life of me work out the syntax that must be used in the line QueuedTask.Run(). Friend Class Button1 Inherits Button Protected Overrides Sub OnClick() ' How To complete the Next line? Await QueuedTask.Run() End Sub Private Function myCode() As LayerDocument Dim sp As String sp = "c:\scratch\mydata.lyrx" Dim ld As LayerDocument ld = New LayerDocument(sp) Return ld End Function End Class Can someone show how this code should be written and best practise?

This does seem like a bug, I can replicate the issue too. Set it as line then it defaults back to point. If you want this fixed you need to contact ESRI support and log it as a bug and point them to this thread. I did do the following, exposed the output event table properties as a parameter, this allowed the tool to run, that might help?

‎12-01-2023

I would suggest you explore the Pivot Table tool then do a row sum to get that final field.

‎12-01-2023

Without showing your model this is hard to answer, best shot in the dark guess is you have an element in your model that you are feeding into that parameter and that's overriding it?

‎12-01-2023

I would feed that table into a select by attribute tool and select rows where Percent Is Null. The output of that tool is a table\featureclass with a selection, that simply feeds into a calculate field tool and you set it to zero. Remember all geoprocessing tools honour selections first, if nothing is selected then the whole dataset is processed.

‎12-01-2023

You can do what you want, I have just tried to provide you with clear instructions so you get the overall logic of what you need to do. How you access your layers is up to you. The index error is likely because you have failed to provide the correct map\layer names?
