Hey all,
Odd problem here arising from being given a large pile of pretty crappy data in Excel. I have 35 Excel files which need to be joined to 35 corresponding feature classes; this part I'm able to accomplish with a Python script. However, I cannot figure out how, using Python, to export this data to DBF without either (a) losing the spreadsheet data I originally joined to or (b) having all of the resulting rows be NULL. The only table export method that is giving me what I want is manually going to the drop-down menu for the attribute table and exporting to DBF.
I suppose I could get around this and not burn too much time by just having my automated process create the 35 joined tables, and then manually export each one. If there's a way to automate the exporting, however, that would be great. Thanks.
