Discover the streamlined process of exporting an attribute table to Excel from ArcGIS Pro, a crucial skill for GIS professionals seeking to analyze spatial data in a familiar tabular environment. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions to facilitate the transfer of data from ArcGIS Pro's robust platform to the versatile spreadsheets of Excel.
While Excel is a common tool for data analysis, we'll also explore why Sourcetable offers a more efficient alternative for exporting and managing attribute tables from ArcGIS Pro.
To export an attribute table from ArcGIS Pro to Microsoft Excel, utilize the 'Table To Excel' tool. This tool allows for the conversion of attribute tables into a format compatible with Excel, typically a CSV file which can be opened and manipulated in Excel.
Begin by opening ArcGIS Pro and navigating to the attribute table you wish to export. Within the 'Geoprocessing' panel, search for the 'Table To Excel' tool. Select this tool and a dialog will appear prompting you for parameters. Specify the input table and the desired output location for the Excel file. Confirm the export by clicking 'Run'. Upon completion, the attribute table will be available as a CSV file that can be opened in Microsoft Excel.
After exporting, open the CSV file in Microsoft Excel to view and analyze your attribute table data. The data can now be edited, formatted, and utilized for further analysis or presentation within Excel.
