If I wanted, I could then start deleting fields that I didn't want to keep. Granted, the output only contained geometries where the two intersected, so any cities that were outside of the administrative areas were dropped, but it performed as expected for me. I'm running QGIS Desktop 2.2 x64 on Windows 7.</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <p><font face="Courier New" size="2">Would you like to share your data?</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> <p><font face="Courier New" size="2">Best Regards,</font><p><font face="Courier New" size="2">James</font><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: lynkosmail@gmail.com<br>Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 09:50:32 +0100<br>To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>Subject: [Qgis-user] Intersecting points and polygons<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Back again needing your help...</div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I have a point shapefile containing bird observations and another polygon shapefile containing the boundaries of local authority areas. Using these, I need to add a column to the point shapefile attribute table containing the name of the local authority area in which the point falls. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If the two files were both polygons, I would do an intersect or union. But doing this with a point file and a polygon file creates a shapefile, but without merging the attribute tables correctly. I get all the headings of both files, but the attributes of only one or the other of the files. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm using QGIS 2.2. Thanks for any suggestions on how to achieve my result, Sarah. </div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
