I found this problem occuring mainly when handling raster data with floating point data. The straight forward approach (in the ArcMap Toolbox' sense of way):

1. ArcToolbox > Spatial Analyst Tools > Map Algebra > Raster Calculator

Multiply your raster by 1*X with X corresponding the maximum decimal places contained. The new raster should now be free of digits, although still being a floating pixel value raster.

2. ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Dataset > Copy Raster

In the Pixel Value drop-down menu select the Pixel Type suiting your data.

3. Now that you have a non-float raster (and ArcMap surely loves these) create an attribute table:

ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Properties > Build Raster Attribute Table

4. Open the attribute table, add a field and use Field Calculator to get your old pixel values back - by calculating "Your Value= 1 / 1*X"

I found this problem occuring mainly when handling raster data with floating point data. The straight forward approach (in the ArcMap Toolbox' sense of way):

1. ArcToolbox > Spatial Analyst Tools > Map Algebra > Raster Calculator

Multiply your raster by 10**X with X corresponding the maximum decimal places contained. The new raster should now be free of digits, although still being a floating pixel value raster.

2. ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Dataset > Copy Raster

In the Pixel Value drop-down menu select the Pixel Type suiting your data.

I found this problem occuring mainly when handling raster data with floating point data. The straight forward approach (in the ArcMap Toolbox' sense of way):

1. ArcToolbox > Spatial Analyst Tools > Map Algebra > Raster Calculator

Multiply your raster by 1^X with X corresponding the maximum decimal places contained. The new raster should now be free of digits, although still being a floating pixel value raster.

2. ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Dataset > Copy Raster

In the Pixel Value drop-down menu select 32_Bit_Signed_Integer

3. Now that you have a non-float raster (and ArcMap surely loves these) create an attribute table:

ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Properties > Build Raster Attribute Table
