<p>Hello Charles & Sebastian,</p>
<p>Thanks very much for your suggestions. I did try the
Geopackage but it seems much less convenient for my needs
than shapefiles or CSV files.</p>
</div>

<div>I thing you said you had over a million tree? Shapefile
will be very slow even if you create a spatial index. You
would be better using a geopackage. What make geopackage less
convenient? Do you have a work flow that can only produce a
csv and a shapefile?</div>

<p> I didn't try the xlsx option as I require a CSV table
as the primary table in the join (to import UTM
coordinates). </p>
</div>

<div>With over a million object, you will go over the xlsx max
limit. </div>

<p> Other spreadsheet formats do not trigger the X/Y

</div>

Csv table is a convenient way manually adding coordinates but if
all you need is to have access to the x/y georefencing options,
you can do that with any filed in any vector file by updating
the geometry from a field using the field calculator. Using
something like <span style="color: var(--black-800);
font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida
Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans
Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono",
"Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; font-style:
inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; white-space: inherit;
font-size: 13px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">geom_from_wkt('POINT('||"x"||'
'||"y"||')'). </span>

<p>I need to frequently add UTM positions to the primary
table plus make manual edits to it so it needs to be a
shapefile. However, with care, I can copy and paste new
UTM records from a CSV file into the primary shapefile.</p>

<br>
Using version 3.10.10, I have joined two MS
Excel files: Positions.csv <br>
and catalogue.xls using a common field called
Tag. This is a tree <br>
inventory project.<br>
<br>
All is well except I cannot edit either table
from within QGIS. I need <br>
to create some new positions manually and
generally update the tables <br>
continuously.<br>
<br>
In the Join dialogue, I have selected Enable
Editing but it has no effect.<br>
<br>
I feel that different file types or a different
procedure may facilitate <br>
this process but am exhausted from trying so
many blind alleys.<br>
<br>
Is there a trick to being able to edit joined
tables?<br>
<br>
Thanks very much . . . .<br>
