<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I imagine you are doing a join using the local government field or is this a spacial join?</p>
<p dir="ltr">I imagine you are using a field. Would you have an extra space before the commas? That would through things off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Is the gov field a unique value field?</p>

<div dir="ltr">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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Phillip Money<br /><br /><br /> </div>
