Files for chapters 6 through 9 on my flash drive got deleted the first go around. I’ve re-downloaded the tutorials and this post is gonna be those chapters.
Chapter 6
Nothing much to report on, now that I actually have the files I need and they’re formatting properly everything is pretty smooth sailing.
Chapter 7
Same as above, easy to grasp, everything went well.
Chapter 8
8-1 says 1120 of 1123 should have been matches, but none of mine did. I double checked all previous directions and I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes so I’m unsure how this happened. After a quick scroll through the attribute table it looks like 100% of the addresses have zip codes listed, so I have no idea how this happened or what data to use to rematch attendee data by zip code. Every single entry is also marked “U” for unmatched. Moving on because I’ve dealt with enough corrupted files. 8.2 went fine.
Chapter 9
I got through 9-1 and 9-2 before my data deleted, so I’m starting with 9-3. TheFields tab within the spatial join tool doesn’t have what the book describes and I can’t select FacilityID as the OutputField, there’s no MergeRule option. Moving on. 9-4 went well, no issues. Same with 9-5
