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.

Parameters

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input Table	The input table to be iterated.	Table View; Raster Layer
Field	The input field for iteration.	Field
Data Type (Optional)	Specifies the data type of the output value. 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 this parameter to Feature Class and use the output variable as input to a tool that accepts a feature class. 3D Object Feature Layer—3D Object Feature Layer 3D Tiles Layer—3D Tiles Layer Address Locator—Address Locator Analysis Cell Size—Analysis Cell Size Annotation Layer—Annotation Layer Any Value—Any Value ArcMap Document—ArcMap Document Areal Unit—Areal Unit BIM File Workspace—BIM File Workspace Boolean—Boolean Building Discipline Layer—Building Discipline Layer Building Scene Discipline Layer—Building Scene Discipline Layer Building Layer—Building Layer Building Scene Layer—Building Scene Layer CAD Drawing Dataset—CAD Drawing Dataset Calculator Expression—Calculator Expression Catalog Layer—Catalog Layer Catalog Root—Catalog Root Cell Size—Cell Size Cell Size XY—Cell Size XY Composite Layer—Composite Layer Compression—Compression Coordinate System—Coordinate System Coordinate Systems Folder—Coordinate Systems Folder Coverage—Coverage Coverage Feature Class—Coverage Feature Class Data Element—Data Element Data File—Data File Database Connections—Database Connections Dataset—Dataset Date—Date dBASE Table—dBASE Table Decimate—Decimate Diagram Layer—Diagram Layer Dimension Layer—Dimension Layer Disk Connection—Disk Connection Double—Double Elevation Surface Layer—Elevation Surface Layer Encrypted String—Encrypted String Envelope—Envelope Evaluation Scale—Evaluation Scale Extent—Extent Extract Values—Extract Values Feature Class—Feature Class Feature Dataset—Feature Dataset Feature Layer—Feature Layer Feature Set—Feature Set Field—Field Field Info—Field Info Field Mappings—Field Mappings File—File Folder—Folder Formulated Raster—Formulated Raster Fuzzy Function—Fuzzy Function GeoDataServer—GeoDataServer Geodataset—Geodataset Geometric Network—Geometric Network Geostatistical Layer—Geostatistical Layer Geostatistical Search Neighborhood—Geostatistical Search Neighborhood Geostatistical Value Table—Geostatistical Value Table GlobeServer—GlobeServer GPServer—GPServer Graph—Graph Graph Data Table—Graph Data Table Graphics Layer—Graphics Layer Group Layer—Group Layer Horizontal Factor—Horizontal Factor Image Service—Image Service Index—Index INFO Expression—INFO Expression INFO Item—INFO Item INFO Table—INFO Table Internet Tiled Layer—Internet Tiled Layer KML Layer—KML Layer LAS Dataset—LAS Dataset LAS Dataset Layer—LAS Dataset Layer Layer—Layer Layer File—Layer File Layout—Layout Line—Line Linear Unit—Linear Unit Long—Long M Domain—M Domain Map—Map Map Server—Map Server Map Server Layer—Map Server Layer Mosaic Dataset—Mosaic Dataset Mosaic Layer—Mosaic Layer Neighborhood—Neighborhood Network Analyst Class FieldMap—Network Analyst Class FieldMap Network Analyst Hierarchy Settings—Network Analyst Hierarchy Settings Network Analyst Layer—Network Analyst Layer Network Data Source—Network Data Source Network Dataset—Network Dataset Network Dataset Layer—Network Dataset Layer Network Travel Mode—Network Travel Mode Oriented Imagery Layer—Oriented Imagery Layer Parcel Fabric—Parcel Fabric Parcel Fabric for ArcMap—Parcel Fabric for ArcMap Parcel Fabric Layer for ArcMap—Parcel Fabric Layer for ArcMap Parcel Layer—Parcel Layer Point—Point Polygon—Polygon Projection File—Projection File Pyramid—Pyramid Radius—Radius Random Number Generator—Random Number Generator Raster Band—Raster Band Raster Calculator Expression—Raster Calculator Expression Raster Catalog—Raster Catalog Raster Catalog Layer—Raster Catalog Layer Raster Data Layer—Raster Data Layer Raster Dataset—Raster Dataset Raster Layer—Raster Layer Raster Statistics—Raster Statistics Raster Type—Raster Type Record Set—Record Set Relationship Class—Relationship Class Remap—Remap Report—Report Route Measure Event Properties—Route Measure Event Properties Scene Layer—Scene Layer Semivariogram—Semivariogram ServerConnection—ServerConnection Shapefile—Shapefile Spatial Reference—Spatial Reference SQL Expression—SQL Expression String—String String Hidden—String Hidden Table—Table Table View—Table View Terrain Layer—Terrain Layer Text File—Text File Tile Size—Tile Size Time Configuration—Time Configuration Time Unit—Time Unit TIN—TIN TIN Layer—TIN Layer Tool—Tool Toolbox—Toolbox Topo Features—Topo Features Topology—Topology Topology Layer—Topology Layer Trace Network—Trace Network Trace Network Layer—Trace Network Layer Trajectory Layer—Trajectory Layer Transformation Function—Transformation Function Utility Network—Utility Network Utility Network Layer—Utility Network Layer Variant—Variant Vector Tile Layer—Vector Tile Layer Vertical Factor—Vertical Factor Voxel Layer—Voxel Layer VPF Coverage—VPF Coverage VPF Table—VPF Table WCS Coverage—WCS Coverage Weighted Overlay Table—Weighted Overlay Table Weighted Sum—Weighted Sum WMS Map—WMS Map WMTS Layer—WMTS Layer Workspace—Workspace XY Domain—XY Domain Z Domain—Z Domain	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.	String
