Merge shapefiles and field calculator in QGIS 3 | burdGIS

Xavier got in touch with a question about merging shapefiles in QGIS 3. Here's the answer. Xavier wanted to know how we can rework the fields in the attribute table so they match after merging shapefiles. In this video I use the "field calculator" in QGIS 3 to create a new field and populate it with the data from the original two shapefiles. If anyone knows of a way to map fields during the process of merging in QGIS 3 please let me know. 🌐 Visit our site 🌐 http://www.burdgis.com 🌐 Take an online GIS course 🌐 https://www.udemy.com/an-introduction... 🌐 Find us on facebook 🌐   / burdgis
