[Qgis-user] joining csv file and attribute table

[Andreas Neumann]

David,

If you created your data in a spreadsheet you can also save to a dbf
file. DBF has support for numeric data types, so no need for a separate
csvt file.

Openoffice is know to read and write dbf well, so if you have
OpenOffice/LibreOffice at hand, give it a try.
