So I have a layer that was initially created using the "extract by mask tool" on a climate resilience raster of the US over recreation area polygons, which was then turned into a polygon layer. This layer is made up of these little polygon blobs, which contain multiple different climate resiliency polygon values within them. So, one blob may only contain one polygon of one climate resiliency category, or it could contain many. My goal was to summarize/average those blobs so each one only has one dominant climate resiliency type within it. The problem is, I couldn't use any tools on it because the blobs are not recognized as individual entities, rather they're made up of a bunch of small polygons.
I decided to use the aggregate polygons tool, which made the blobs into their own entities. However, now I've tried to use the summarize within tool, and it says that the field I want to use, gridcode (the climate resiliency type) isn't valid for the tool, and I'm not sure what that means.
I'd really appreciate any help and I know there are many different ways to go about this that I haven't thought of yet!
