What is it you are trying to do that you need to change the precision of that number to 2 digits right of the decimal?&nbsp; The context of this problem helps me to to understand what sort of advice to give you.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:48:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180591#M2351 ChristopherThompson 2012-03-23T13:48:35Z Re: Text String Script https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180592#M2352 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yes, I have stored my aguse information in a geodatabase. I have added a field in which I would like to calculate total acreage in a section and provide a report with the total acreage of a certain land use feature. Once I have added a new field and calculated the acreage, the number has 12 or 13 numbers after the decimal. For example, acreage = 123.236545231236. Here, I would like to use the Calculate Geometry tool to perform a "trim" of the number where all the attributes will be trimmed to two decimal places. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is this enough? Sorry if this is a little confusing. Thanks for your help!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:15:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180592#M2352 CaraMays 2012-03-23T14:15:48Z Re: Text String Script https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180593#M2353 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am sorry, I used the Calculate Geometry to find the acreage...Now I would like to use the Field Calculator to trim the decimal places.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:50:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180593#M2353 CaraMays 2012-03-23T14:50:14Z Re: Text String Script https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180594#M2354 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The field calculator expression you want is something like:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code jive_text_macro">Round( [Acreage] , 2)</PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Where [Acreage] is the field with the acreage in, and the 2 is the number of decimal places to round to. That's for VBA if you're using 9.3, I think VBScript in 10 is the same.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Python is the same function Round() but I think you put exclamation points around the field name rather than square brackets e.g. !Acreage! instead of [Acreage].</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope that helps...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Dan</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:03:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180594#M2354 DanEvans 2012-03-26T08:03:59Z Re: Text String Script https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180595#M2355 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thank you!!!! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:54:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180595#M2355 CaraMays 2012-03-26T12:54:09Z Re: Text String Script https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180596#M2356 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>good idea,good luck man</SPAN><IMG src="http://www.infoocean.info/avatar2.jpg" /></BODY></HTML> Tue, 27 Mar 2012 06:18:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/text-string-script/m-p/180596#M2356 GeorgiaHalsted 2012-03-27T06:18:29Z
