Grid to point converter gives a time series of integers

[danhamill]

When I use the grid to point utility, I get a time series of integer values.

Here is shapefile: Willow_Creek.zip

Here is a DSS file with grids input_dss_grids.zip

Here is a file with the expected results Expected_Zonal_Stats.zip

Shouldn't the zonal statistics be floats?

Dan, can you send the dss grids again? I'm not sure what happened with them but the zip is empty. You can also send via the HEC dropbox or via MS Teams.

[danhamill]

I'll try again tomorrow. I've had other problems with uploading zip archives lately.

[danhamill]

How about this upload.

Input_Dss_Grids.zip

Good deal, I have the grids now. I wonder if there's a expiry on file exchanges...

I'll let you know what I find, once I get a chance to dig in.

I ran the grid-to-point-converter with your dataset. I spot checked a few values with you expected values spreadsheet and the values look really similar (screen cap below). Good to know.

I wasn't able to reproduce the integer time-series issue. Maybe you have a bad version of HEC-DSS?

[danhamill]

Hmm.  Maybe it is my version of dss.  I’ve been bouncing between 3.0.00.212 and 2.6.   I’ll check tomorrow.  

Your results appear correct to me.  I’ll report back.  Thanks for checking! nnk2193 notifications@github.com wrote: “I ran the grid-to-point-converter with your dataset.

@ktarbet can you get @danhamill a new build of HEC-DSSVue? I am working with v.3.0.1.125

[danhamill]

Confirmed the version 3.0.00.22 is a wonky version of DSS. When I review the grid to point results in dss 2.6, I am seeing an output similar to your demonstration.

[tombrauer]

Ok, good to know. Be careful with the 3.* DSSVue builds. They are all unofficial and are all broken in one way or another. I will say - I've been v.3.0.1.125 for about a month now, and haven't found any bugs 🤞

[danhamill]

I think the only reason 3.0.00.22 was on my radar was because you could directly import soil moisture data from snotel.

[tombrauer]

Snotel should be a plugin. If that's the case you can drag and drop it into any DSS build.

@ktarbet can you get @danhamill a new build of HEC-DSSVue? I am working with v.3.0.1.125

yes, on the way.

[danhamill]

@ktarbet Thank you, download received.

After downloading and extracting the new build of DSS, I am having the same issue. I found if i change the precision in tabulate, i see the additional digits. Where can I globally set the tabular precision? I cant seem to find any menus for default program settings.

[ktarbet]

I see the same issue, the number of decimals selected is not saved between tables. I've added this to our internal Issue tracker.

[danhamill]

That't the menu I found too. Is there a way to export the data to excel with the desired precision?

[ktarbet]

@danhamill The export should be including all decimal places in the floating point number. In Excel you can format to desired style.
