Bearing to Line tool issues

BrianKneller — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 15:31:37 GMT

I have used bearing to line in the past with no issues and now I cannot get it to work. I load a worksheet table from Excel by add data and then import it to the geodatabase using table - table.OR I load it into an attached folder then I open table attributes and I see all the spreadsheet colums. When I access this table through the bearing to line tool the tool the tool does not show the OID but shows the first two table columns misses the third includes 4 & 5 misses 6,7,8 & 9 and shows table column 10.

If I add a column or change the order of the columns I can see the changes in the table properties but the bearing to line tool does not show any of these changes or additions. I have missed something obvious?? -- any help would be appreciated or is the tool "broken?" and how do I repair?

Are the columns a number data type?

Hi I have fixed this after looging again at the many data items in detail I found one or two instances of , thater than . in the numeric data
