I am attempting to 'select by attributes' a point feature with the lowest numeric value which shares a common value with other point features in another field. For example: I may have 3 point features with address values: 123, 125 and 127. Each of these point features shares a parcel address value of 131 in another field.
I simply need to select the lowest address point for each parcel address so that I can use a definition query to display a subset of the data (Only points with these lowest values).

Use the Summary Statistics tool with the following parameters:
Input Table
: your point feature classStatistics Field
: the address value field. SelectMIN
as the statistic type from the dropdown list.Case Field
: the parcel address field.This will group records according to the
Case Field
, select the minimum address value and write this value to the new output table. You could then join this table to your original feature class and keep only matching records to display your "minimum" subset.
