Very helpful, thank you! (create layer from selection feature is perfect )

Do you have a quick formula I could use when looking at multiple unique values? Using the IN operator in SQL to select multiple values from an attribute

Hi Riskytom:

Assuming "STUDENTS" is the column you wish to select values from:

"STUDENTS" >= 5000 AND "STUDENTS" < 15000

This will give you values that include 5000 up to, but excluding 15000, which sounds like what you're trying to do. If not, simply modify the expression until you get the records selected that you want.

Good luck!

its interesting but my work is little more tricky. I want to separate the different combinations and want to name them in a new field, I wrote this code GRIDCODE = 1 AND "GRIDCODE_1" = 1 AND "GRIDCODE_2" = 1 AND "GRIDCODE_3" = 2 AND "GRIDCODE_4" = 1 but it is just separating it from the other. I want to name the as Non-Irrigated areas. Similarly then for the others combinations. How can I do it??? thanks

Neat, but is the created Layer dynamic -- say Wyoming grows, adds land, within the main table - will your created layer from selection update or do you have rerun the entire process?
