Table Joining in QGIS

Here in this tutorial, we will learn one of the most important aspects of combining and working with your spatial and tabular data in QGIS that is table joining. Next on the agenda, you will learn on how to link tables to spatial layers so that your attribute data is easily integrated with the geographic data. You’ll be exposed to various types of join including the inner join, left join and among others, a type of join that will enable you combine dataforms that share same fields thus improving your data analysis and visualization.

We will also describe examples of how this can be done as well as the measures that should be taken when things go wrong during joining. No matter whether you are translating survey data with the spatial maps or you are including a number of datasets, this tutorial will allow you to understand the table joining in the form which is simple and effective in QGIS. At the end of the activities in this chapter, you should be able to make better decisions and prepare map information more effectively.
