As we all know, the attribute table field properties has number format to display number of decimal places to up to maximum 15. If we have many fields/columns in attribute table, how can we change all fields/columns decimal places roundoff/display at a time ( I mean in single operation. Not changing each and every field properties).

Ex: 

ColA:12.987654 ! ColB:34.20987766  ! ColC:89.654309877

In one operation my output should be (Rounding/display to 2 digits)

For Rounding:

ColA:12.99 ! ColB:34.201  ! ColC:89.66

For Display:

ColA:12.98 ! ColB:34.20  ! ColC:89.65

is there any method/tool to do this in Arcgis?

Nope. I don't think there's something like that. Iterating over the fields and changing the precision property is the closest you can do I guess. There's a LisField function so it shouldn't be so troublesome.

  • I am looking for this operation and may me others also looking like me. Is there any chance we can give input to arcgis to incorporate this facility?

  • What's wrong with an arcpy script? You can send your suggestions to the ESRI forums, I guess.
