However, when I use the calculator it spits out integer data. My question is:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>How can I get the raster calculator to output floating point data instead of integer data?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Note: I believe the data is floating point data to begin with. I have also tried using the Float() function. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 21:55:38 GMT ClintWyatt 2012-11-02T21:55:38Z Raster Calculator Floating Point Data Question https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/raster-calculator-floating-point-data-question/m-p/119828#M4157 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am trying to use the raster calculator to convert raster climate data from one unit ([mm/year]*100) to another unit (mm/day) so that I can calculated residuals (% difference) between this data (PRISM 1971-2000 precipitation) and future climate projections.

If anyone stumbles across this you have to take your original raster layer *1.0 (with the decimal) then it will automatically convert to decimals. You can then perform your normal calculation. Another bizarre aspect of ArcGIS 10.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:14:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/raster-calculator-floating-point-data-question/m-p/119829#M4158 ClintWyatt 2012-11-02T22:14:05Z
