I want to combine them before spatial joining with a hexagon grid to portray the data in a bivariate map. How do I best combine these point files? I am trying to avoid using Merge, as each point file has ~470K points.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Sep 2019 13:37:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40504#M1652 ElliotLustig 2019-09-17T13:37:29Z Re: Combining 120 Point Files https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40505#M1653 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I believe the <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/merge.htm">Merge</A> geoprocessing tool will accomplish what you're seeking to do.&nbsp; Test it though on copies of your data.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Sep 2019 13:50:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40505#M1653 Robert_LeClair 2019-09-17T13:50:07Z Re: Combining 120 Point Files https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40506#M1654 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Do you think there is a way to combine these datasets without using Merge? That works, but merging two together is a file with almost 1M points. Combining all 120 will not really be feasible.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Sep 2019 14:31:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40506#M1654 ElliotLustig 2019-09-17T14:31:00Z Re: Combining 120 Point Files https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40507#M1655 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes, there's another workflow that "might" work - Collect Events - to create a weighted point feature class.&nbsp; You may have to run the Integrate GP tool prior if your points are not coincident.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:30:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/combining-120-point-files/m-p/40507#M1655 Robert_LeClair 2019-09-18T15:30:32Z
