[Qgis-user] trouble adding non-spatial table

[Randal Hale]

Hey Katie,

So - you should be able to add your csv in the "Add Vector layer" dialog 
box and selecting Comma Separated Value [OGR]. I just added a pretty 
hefty worksheet from excel that had been converted to CSV to QGIS.

If you right click your shapefile -> properties -> Join and you should 
be good to go.
