Error Message

The Spatial Analyst Interpolate to Raster functions return the following message:

"Operation Failed"

Cause

The input dataset may contain a Null or Empty geometry. That is, there is a record without a corresponding feature.

Solution or Workaround

Selecting the features that can be seen in the Data View of ArcMap will allow the Interpolate to Raster function to use only those records with a physical feature.

Use the Select Features tool to select all the input features seen in the Data View. Run the Spatial Analyst > Interpolate to Raster function.
