Hi Sandy,

Problem 1)
I'd suggest you copy the layer and use a subset filter (in the layer properties 'general' tab) to filter out the data you do not need. Then label that layer.

Problem 2)
Importing excel should be possible in 1.8 but I never tried.

Hope this helps!

Hi All
Iam hoping to get a reply for some assistance urgently and have already tried sending on this user list but did not get any feedback. If anyone can assist I would be most appreciative.

I have recently downloaded Quantum GIS 1.8 and am trying to learn at a rapid rate!

I have to do teach it to students at the University of Western Cape (SA) in June. We teach them the different Open Source GIS programs to assist in Health Analysis.

Two problems:

1)A problem I have come across is where do I set up expressions for example in labelling - I have used the button in the toolbar 'new labelling button' and then tried to use the expression. For example I just want certain labels to appear eg Name = "Nome". It does not work? How can I use this expression box under this label tool to label certain things?

2)Also how do I bring in an excel table and join this table to a shapefile - Can I join them in Quantum?

Much appreciated

Sandy

    Hi

    I didn't think I would have problems with clipping. In the past it
    always worked properly. But now I have a soil layer, and created a
    rectangle as a clip layer.

    Everything seems normal and goes like expected until I open the
    new, clipped layer and it's empty.

    Would anybody please have an idea what's going on. What do I overlook?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Jake
