I'm trying to use arcpy.Statistics_analysis using a feature layer as the input and a long int field ("MaxOID5" for the field summary so I can get the max value.

arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\data\mydata.gdb"

fc = "airplanes"

arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, "fc_layer")

arcpy.Statistics_analysis("fc_layer", "Max_Table", "MaxOID5", "MAX")

When I run the script I get the following error:

ERROR 000800: The value is not a member of SUM | MEAN | MIN | MAX | RANGE | STD | COUNT | FIRST | LAST.

The help on the error says that "The keyword used is not a member of the list of acceptable keywords" but I'm choosing it directly from the auto generate parameters in the arcmap python command window.

    Run from gui, copy as Python script from Results window and paste to your script. Something is missing

I think your problem lies in your third input. Try: 

arcpy.Statistics_analysis("fc_layer", "Max_Table", [["MaxOID5", "MAX"]], "")

  • That did it. I had tried it with single brackets around the 3rd and 4th params but got the same result. Thanks!
