How about a " Join "

 QGIS join

Hi,
How could I implement something like vlookup in QGIS?

I have a shapefile with 2000 polygons and column 1 of its attribute table has a code value.

Using the code in this column 1, I need to look up which row of a CSV file has that code, and return column 2 of the CSV file. This returned value must then be placed into a new column (say column 6) on the shapefile attribute table. I could pre-add the new column to this shapefile, and then run the vlookup equivalent too, of course.

I tried this by opening the DBF file in Libreoffice calc, sorting the columns, adding the extra two columns of my lookup data, then ran vlookup and saved/closed the DBF file.

Once back in QGIS the attributes ended up being linked to the wrong polygons (probably because I sorted the DBF file outside of QGIS).

Thanks in advance,
Zoltan
