Hi,

I simply need to take two TAB files - one point file containing several attribute fields, and one polygon - in the same projection, and overlay them and then summarise the number of points by attribute in each polygon. The output needs to be the polygon TAB file with a couple of fields of counts.

I have made some progress with the point on polygon overlayer. ie - it runs without generating an error, and the points or the polygons can be mapped in an inspector window.

Other posts suggest generating a list, which i have done, but doesn't seem to produce a list that i can see.

I've tried SQL executor (because I already have SQL code that will run in Mapbasic)

Tried Statistics Calculator.

Tried other things but can't remember what they are.

This is a pretty simple operation to complete in a GIS, but I don't want to have to do the repetitive part, because we have multiple polygons to deal with and repeated data in the future.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi @sladlow,

sorry for not responding anymore, but I have been sick for a couple of days and haven't had a look at any computer. Thank you @pratap for continuing to answer the questions.

I think it is really important to learn the basics, like @redgeographics already mentioned too you, to understand every step that has been taken. And also to understand the way FME works.

If you still have issues, please let the community know.

Thanks again Lars, I am definitely going to the tutorial videos to work through the basics, and now have downloaded the 2017 basics pdf. Regards, Sean
