Stranger still is that the rounding doesn't even seem to make sense. For instance, I entered "48.9" and instead of getting "48.900000", I got "48.900002". Also, some records don't get padded or rounded at all. when I entered 42.75, I got 42.75. Then in the row immediately following, I entered 43.05 and I got 43.0499999. I have set my field to Float with 6 decimal places which has worked for me before when entering this kind of data. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is this a bug, or have I just overlooked something? Any help would be appreciated.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>-Greg</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:02:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/problem-with-random-rounding-in-feature-class/m-p/96944#M5652 GregoryWhitaker 2011-09-27T16:02:40Z Re: problem with random rounding in feature class table https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/problem-with-random-rounding-in-feature-class/m-p/96945#M5653 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>This reflects the nature of the data.
