Zonal Statisitcs as table tool output has far fewer objects than defined zones

[HopeHauptman]

I have over 13,000 zones and the zonal statistics as table tool calculates the majority but only 8000 or so objects then appear in the table. Why is it skipping so many zones? Is 13,000 too many? 

[DanPatterson]

Are they all singlepart features?  Are you basing the zones on the OBJECTID field? or some other field (which may have duplicates)

[Hope-Hauptman]

Yes I am basing it on the ObjectID field. They are polygon features.

How the zonal statistics tools work—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

check the description to identify where things can go wrong, for instance, the section beginning with

To avoid zones disappearing from your output, ensure that each zone contains one or more cell centers from the value raster.

Yes - the cell size/cell center was the problem. Good suggestion to check description for common problems. Much appreciated.

glad it worked out

Fr other with this problem: I used the Resample tool to make the cell size smaller on the raster and then no more missing data.

Hello

Resample works, and using it will let you see explicitly which cells are contributing to which zone, but you could also directly specify the desired cell size when executing the 'zonal stats as table' tool. This avoids the need to create or manage intermediate raster datasets. For example, if you use the ZSAT tool from the Pro UI, you can switch to the tool's environments tab and specify the cell size in the Raster Analysis parameter group.

as a general rule, all spatial analyst tools allow you to specify the analysis cell size.

Great - good to know for future. Thank you!
