Thanks, that is SO CLOSE to what I need. Let me give you a few more details. This is driving me up the wall.
I have three layers of importance:
1. RealEstate - this contains point data for various real estate parcels.
2. Turbines - this contains point data for various turbine locations
3. Buffer - this contains a multiple ring buffer around EVERY point in RealEstate.
The attribute table for the multiple buffer looks like this:
Which doesn't identify the fact that there are >2000 of these buffer rings since that's how many points are in RealEstate.
When I run the spatial join as you suggested, I get a really nice output, but it only tells me how many turbines are in the aggregate of 0.5 rings, 1 rings, 1.5 rings, and 2 rings. I need something specific to each parcel. So for parcel #1241, how many turbines are within a .5 mile radius? That type of output.
Is there a way to join the real estate point data to the buffer rings? Given that the buffer rings were created using the real estate data I would assume so, but I am a bit lost.
