Hey,
Thank you for answering my question so fast. Basically what you suggested worked. I worked with Join Field, because I needed to add a new fild to my shapefile. In my layer (shapefile) the new field is added. The problem is that i get only <Null> values for every single row, regardless of whether the name of the plant is the same or not.
What I checked:
- The transfer field that should be added is of the same type, both in the shapefile, as it is in the table (float, because the values are numbers)
- The type of the join field (in this case the names of the plants) is "Text" in both the shapefile and the table
- no spaces in field names
- Excel table was successfully converted into a File Geodatabase Table
I want to mention that the File Geodatabase Table has less rows than the layer, because it only includes the plants with additional infomation. Is that a problem?
Also some field calues of the join field have a space included (e.g. "WWTP Munich"). But as long as the field name has no space in it, there shouldn't be a problem, right?
Do you have any solutions for this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Lars
