If Column Name = String and Field > 0 Then 1 else 0

Can't seem to find a way to get the column names as fields to check against in a formula. Is this just a crazy thought?

 

Thanks!

Best way would be to look at the Transpose tool. All your column names then appear in the [Name] field and respective values in the {value] field.

 

You can then run your formula. 

 

To get back to the original format, use a CrossTab tool.

Hi @ChrisSpr,

 

use the Field Info Tool to achieve this.

@ChrisSpr - Can you give us more context on how your data is strucutred? if you are looking to get column names as rows to use them in a formula, you could start with the transpose tool.

Wow you're all fast. 

Yeah the Transpose method works just grandly.  I really over thought it.

 

🙂

Thanks everyone! Stay safe!
