Help Needed Merging Data from Two Layers

BradPeters — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 19:24:48 GMT

I have two layers, both of which contain fire inspection data. The first one has about a thousand features and the other has about 60,000 features. Some of the features in the larger layer are from the same fire incidents as the smaller layer, but the only attributes they have in common are "Date" and "Address". I need to merge the smaller layer with the larger layer (or vice versa) so that the data from both layers is preserved and matched to the common incidents. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi Brad,

We can add the smaller layer to the larger one using the Append tool.

Append (Data Management)

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/append.htm

Then, we can review the layer to identify any duplicates in the attribute table. Does that make sense?
