Decimal place in ArcGIS 10.3

Question

In this attribute table, "DISTANCE" field name created with this python expression (in Field Claculator):

str( !Shape_Leng! ) + !field_name!

Everything works fine.

But I seek a way to get on 1 number of decimal place and not 9 places as in the result. In the Field Properties the option to change is blocked.

Perhaps easier to create a new float field, set the decimal place to 1 and copy over the values from !Shape_Leng!. Then use this in your expression above. — Joseph, Nov 17 '16 at 11:03

You can also use Python function round: str( round(!Shape_Leng!,1) ) + !field_name! — BERA, Nov 17 '16 at 11:17

'%.1f %s' % (!SHAPE_Leng!, !field_name!)

%.1f represents float with 1 decimal digit. Replace it with %.2f to get 2 digits and so on. %s is a string.

Or you can use format()
