Hello All,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this... I have a number of points and I want to overlay a grid, and then 'count' the number of points that reside in each grid square. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Sarah,

Assuming your grid dataset exists just use the spatial join tool, this returns a count.

Hi Duncan,

Yes I finally did figure that out. I had tried prior to posting to thread and it wasn't working but I later realized it was because I was making a silly mistake. Thanks so much for your help!
