Iterate Field Values (ModelBuilder)

Summary

Iterates each value in a field.

Learn how Iterate Field Values works in ModelBuilder

Usage

  • This tool is only available from ModelBuilder for use in models. The tool is not available from the Geoprocessing pane or from Python.

  • The output of the tool is a variable named Value that contains the value of the field. This variable can be used in inline variable substitution (%Value%).

  • The Data Type parameter specifies the data type of the output variable. The default data type is string; however, depending on how the output will be used in the model, other data types can be specified. For example, if your field contains the path to a feature class, you can set the Data Type parameter to Feature Class and use the output variable as input to a tool that accepts a feature class.

  • If an iterator is added to a model, all tools in the model iterate for each value in the iterator. If you do not want to run each tool in the model for each iterated value, create a submodel, model within a model, or nested model that contains only the iterator and add it as a model tool to the main model.

String
Unique Values
(Optional)

Specifies whether iteration values will be based on unique values.

  • Checked—The iteration values will be based on the unique value of the specified field.
  • Unchecked—The iteration will run for each record in the input table.
Boolean
Skip Null Values
(Optional)

Specifies whether null values in the field will be skipped.

  • Checked—Null values in the field will be skipped during selection.
  • Unchecked—Null values in the field will not be skipped during selection.
Boolean
Null Value
(Optional)

The value that will be used to replace null values in the field, such as -9999, Null, or -1. The default for string fields is "" and 0 for numeric fields.
