Lab Overview
• In this lab you will:1. Prepare the data you obtained for your portfolio so that
it can be imported into Arc GIS mapping software.2. Set up your own personal geodatabase which you can
use to store all data you would like to map.3. Import your portfolio Data into your geodatabase4. Add your portfolio Data to an appropriate map (this
involves joining 2 tables)5. Selecting how you want the data to be visually
represented
![Page 3: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1. Preparing the data you created in lab 4 so that it can be imported into Arc GIS
mapping software.
![Page 4: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Create an Excel Spreadsheet that Lists Data By State
Make sure that your variable names are along the top row (top 1 row only) and that the
state names are down the side column (A). There should be no blank rows above the data and no blank columns to the
left.
![Page 5: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Side Note: Make sure that the primary key (such as state,
county, country etc) that you will be linking to in the map are
spelled exactly the same way as in the map. (the next 4 slides
review this)
![Page 6: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
To examine how the data is stored for a layer, right click on the layer,
Select Open Attribute Table
![Page 7: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It looks like a spreadsheet!
![Page 8: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Highlight everything (by column) Options, Export, as Text (dbf may work better for your computer)
Then you can retrieve these labels and find data that corresponds with them.

If it does not appear as in the previous slide, use the
following…

You may later find it helpful to shorten the data name here (so variable names are shorter, since this is added to existing variable
names). To do this, copy and paste it here and give the pasted version a short name like fhdata.
![Page 37: Importing your Own Data To display in GIS Lab 4a: (Table Join) Mapping By State, County, or Nation.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051417/56649e545503460f94b4b6bc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
i.e. Shorten the target name in the box that opens

else it won’t convert.
