Probably the easiest way to do this would be a join - so if you made me
do this I would do:
1. Create a layer (say a shapefile) with a point and a unique ID.
2. Make sure that Unique ID is reflected in your tabular data (point 1
has a corresponding '1' in the tabular data or a point of "Water Park"
has a "Water Park" in your table)
3. Right click on your shapefile with the points (or polygons) and go to
properties -> Joins. Pick your two fields that are the same - and join
them.
After a successful join right click and "save as" and make a new
shapefile/Spatialite layer with all of your attributes.

Hi,
I’m after your suggestions for the best work flow for adding spatial
data to existing tabular data.
Say we have a tabular list of playground equipment – I want to
associate a point object with each row in the list – so I end up with
spatial and attribute data in the one table.
I used to do this in MapInfo, you could open a table of purely tabular
data, select a row in the attribute table, adding a point in the map
window would create a map object for the selected row (rather than
adding a whole new row to the table). I don’t think I can do it like
that with QGIS – am I right in thinking if there is no geometry for a
row it will be excluded from the attribute table?
How do people do this in QGIS?
Thanks,
Martin.
