Data loss when exporting from ArcMap to Excel

When exporting records from an attribute table in ArcMap to Excel, be conscious of field types. For example, if a Double field is longer than 6 digits, it may get rounded to 6 significant figures in Excel. Check the output Excel file to ensure that your data has been fully retained, and if necessary transfer the data into a new text attribute.
