Python script to calculate the area (!shape.area!),

I wanted to calculate the are in a particular field. I used the script shown in the screenshot below (!shape.area!):

The ArcGIS quits.

What might be the issue here?

What could be the proper syntax?


Thank you

You're very close, the correct syntax is this:

!Shape!.area


If you're in a Projected Coordinate System, you can also use the "Calculate Geometry" option to get area as well.

Just to throw my ten cents worth in I use the following code: round(!shape.area@hectares!,1)
