Viewing CSV Data in ArcPro

[KrishnaTiwari]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to view CSV data in ArcPro and eventually join the data to another layer. However, when I try and view the CSV data in ArcPro I get the following message:

Failed to open table.

Error: The value type is incompatible with field type [Zip_Code]

Does this mean there are errors in the Zip_Code field column, or something else? Thank you for the help!

If you added the CSV it would be easier to answer your question, but I could see it being that:

-there are rows with bad values

-that the field is being read as something other than numeric

-the Field is numeric but something other than numeric is stored in the field. 

Would need to see the csv to know.

Check the zip code field and see if all the zip codes are zip codes

I've run into problems with importing ZIP codes, as well.  In my case, it was because spreadsheet contained data from NJ, where the ZIP codes begin with '0'.  When I imported into ArcMap as a numerical data type, it was truncating the the leading '0' and importing as a 4-digit number, which was then unrecognizable as a ZIP.  Any chance your ZIPs start with '0'?  If so, try importing as a text data type.
