2














I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.2



I want to apply a definition query saying



NOT (name contains 'road%')



apparently there is no option to add Not Operator in query neither there seem to be any option saying not contains.



Is there a way to add Not Operator in definition query using ArcGIS Pro?

          You can do this, but not in Edit Clause Mode, so you need to switch to Edit SQL Mode first using the toggle at top left.



          As a test using ArcGIS Pro 2.2.4 I used the expression NAME NOT LIKE '%ust%' to filter all countries except Australia and Austria from the Natural Earth countries successfully.



          enter image description here



          The warning (seen in the picture) that "The expression can't be edited in Clause mode" comes up if I try to toggle back to Edit Clause Mode using the blue icon at top left. Nevertheless, the expression can be used (just not edited in Clause mode).



          If you take out the word NOT to make it NAME LIKE '%ust%' then you can toggle back to Edit Clause Mode where you will see that the clause displays as NAME contains the text ust.
