La unión de dos campos no devuelve ningún valor coincidente en ArcGIS Pro

Descripción

In ArcGIS Pro, when attempting to join two common fields from different tables using the Add Join tool, no matching values are returned in the joined table.

Causa

The data types of the common fields do not match.

Solución o solución alternativa

The data types of the common fields must be the same to join a layer to another layer or table in ArcGIS Pro. For example, a float field cannot be joined with a double field as the data types of the fields are different. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Join the attributes from a table for more information.

To resolve this issue, change one of the field data types to the same data type as the other common field by creating a new field in the layer’s attribute table, and use the Calculate Field tool to populate the values of the new field. Refer to How To: Change the data type of an existing field in ArcGIS Pro for instructions.
