Predicting Integer Values Neural Network

Hello all!
I am a beginner at this and trying to utilize Neural Network model for prediction. I have been able to execute and get the results. My label is fixed to obtain integer values from 2 to 24, however the predicted values are taking any possible values. I wish to limit the prediction to integer values only. Can someone please guide me what to do, I read in another blog about rounding but I wish to use the network for predicting integers.

    You would not be able to do this as long as you are trying to predict it as a numerical label, although you could simply round the resulting prediction as you noted.
    The only way to get it to predict integers would be to treat the label as a nominal class instead of numerical, in which case it would only predict the actual labels you have in the dataset.

    While my analysis is running can you help me in one more thing. I am trying to use Loop to plot epoch per training cycle is my approach right? @Telcontar120

    The base Neural Net operator doesn't really allow investigation of the details of each epoch but the Deep Learning extension does, so I encourage you to check that out.
