Spatial Match Tools and Combining Data

[ijurgensen]

Hello!

I have two spatial match tools, each combining a state boundary and a number of centroids contained within the state, and I'm trying to re-join the data to do further analysis and compare data between two states. 

When I add a union tool to the "M" field of each spatial match tool, it outputs a bunch of null fields. However, when I view the "M" field of each spatial match tool via a browse tool, I can see all the data that I'm trying to combine.

Any tips?

Hey @ijurgensen ,

Do the field names between the two "M" anchors of your spatial match tools have the same names? 

If your Union is set to Auto Config the fields by Name, then if the field names differ that will possibly be the cause of your Nulls. Any chance you can attach a screenshot so we can get a better understanding of the issue?

Thanks

As suggested by @AngelosPachis , if you dont what to change the names of the fields, then manully arrange the postion of fields.

The field names should be the same, as they're coming from the same source and I don't change them anywhere in the workflow. I've attached a screenshot. I tried manually configuring by name/position and neither worked. Thank you for your help in this!

I figured this out. For some reason in the spatial match tool there were a number of records deselected that caused the data to not come through. Noob mistake, thank you!
