I have a shape file for land use coverage and it only has the grid IDs in the attribute table but I need the land use names to be associated with the grid ID. I need to assign each ID a name but there is over 7000 records. I am wondering how I would go about doing this. For example if grid ID 1 is open space how do I get that to show up in the attribute table without copy and pasting for each record. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
If there are only a limited number of different land uses then:
Alternatively, if you have table containing your id values and descriptions then you could join the data and calculate them all at once.
Thanks! Appreciate your help!:)
