In this QGIS tutorial, I’ll guide you through a step-by-step process of performing a table join—moving fields from an Excel (CSV) file into a shapefile or vector layer.
We will use Join Attributes by Field Value in QGIS to combine population and area data from an Excel file with the NYALI Location shapefile. This process is essential for land surveyors, GIS analysts, and anyone who wants to enrich spatial data with tabular information.
