Hi everybody

 

I'm using FME to merge several different spatial feature classes to create a new one. The user of this product is one of our partners in the office who doesn't have the possibility to view the data with a GIS-system. Therefore the output should in form of an excel. At the end of the workspace I use two writer: one for the excel and one for the GDB. When I compare the two results regarding the total area of the features, only the GDB one is correct.

It is important that the area-values in the Excel are correct because they are used the analyze the other attribute using Pivot-tables and so on...

 

Thanks in advance for you help :-)

 

SHAPE_Area is an attribute that's automatically calculated by ESRI. For other formats it's "just an attribute" with "just a number". If you want to have an area field in Excel you should use an AreaCalculator before writing

if you calculate the area (AreaCalculator) before you write to Excel, the result must identical.

shape_area is a systemattribute, it is not nessary for writing to GDB.

so cool, thx a lot guys for the quick answers, it worked perfekt :-)

The change from more ESRI products the FME needs some learning to do for me :-)
