I am having a heck of a time trying to write an if elif script in the field calculator. I've read numerous threads but can't figure out how to do it right. I have a field called route_ty_1 that is a string field, with possible attributes of "Bus," "Rail," "LightRail," etc. For a given attribute, I want a code number to be returned for the site_code field, which is short integer. Here is the code I have been tinkering with:
Pre-logic script code:
site_code =
If there is a better way to do this than if statements I am very open to suggestions! Thanks!
Pre-logic script code:
Code:
def Reclass(site_code):
if route_ty_1 == 'Bus':
return 338
elif route_ty_1 == 'LIGHT RAIL':
return 281
elif route_ty_1 == 'METRO':
return 335
elif route_ty_1 == 'Rail':
return 282
elif route_ty_1 == 'Commuter Bus':
return 336Code:
Reclass(!site_code!)
