I have been with Extract by Mask as well in 2020!
It does not work despite changing settings in Environments and making sure all files have the same projection. I am using ArcInfo Grids because I need to use attribute tables with the grid layer.
This is a far cry from Arcview 3.2 when simple line commands worked without fail. I have a scientific paper that I need to finish and I need to report by mapping regions. I create a filter for the shapefile for each region. The ArcInfo grid layer is a simple 1 band grid. Nothing works. I can understand the frustration of people trying to use ESRI products. That is why I use QGIS for most of my work. It is faster more flexible and easier to use than Arcmap.
Hi there,
I am a product engineer on the Spatial Analyst team, and would like to help get this problem resolved.
I would like to you know which version of ArcMap you are using, how you are running the tool, as well as the environments you are using.
Since you mentioned a particular dataset, setting up a file share so I can test with your data would be the quickest way for me to reproduce the error, so our developers can take a look!
If this interests you, please send me an email at dmelamed@esri.com, and we can set up a file share.

I have worked out that Extract by Mask does not work with GRID formatted rasters. I exported the grid to .bil format. I then repeated the extract by mask using the .bil formatted grid. It worked fine.
So don't use GRID rasters.

GRID rasters are supported by SA tools as both inputs and outputs.It is possible your specific GRID dataset has become corrupt.

Hi Dana
I am happy to share the dataset. I will send you the two files by Google Drive. I basically solved the problem yesterday by using BIL format raster and not GRID. It definitely does not work with GRID rasters.
Here is the link” https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QMGjHy_8XmBQLFPkcl6JFUfyHHcIwH16?usp=sharing
Basically I am extracting the data by mapping regions in the shapefile. So I do a query on the shapefile to select one of the mapping regions and then run extract by mask. It is now not executing with the BIL formatted file.
Cheers
