[Qgis-user] Joining csv and shape files in QGIS

[Phillip Money]

Hi Nicolas,

It is a table join. The common field is the name of the local government area (city/shire). They are common in both tables. I just noticed that one is in caps and the other isn't. I will try putting both the same case and see how that goes.

Hi,
I imagine you are doing a join using the local government field or is this a spacial join?
I imagine you are using a field.  Would you have an extra space before the commas?  That would through things off.
Try loading the shapefile and the csv data without the join?  Then, copy a government value from the shapefile then try to find it using a query or a filter in the csv.  If you know it's there and can't find it, then you could have a character or something throwing off the join.
Is the gov field a unique value field?

I am trying to join a csv file and shp file in QGIS. They both have common fields. I have imported the CSV file properly. It has two fields, a name (local government area) and an integer (total complaints per area). I have checked the properties in QGIS and they show string and int.

I want to display total complaints per local government area on a map When I join the CSV and shp files, I get null values under the total complaints field. I have tried lots of things, but without success so far.

Any help would be appreciated.
