I have developed a fishnet grid for my study area. I have various datasets for the area and want to allocate a value (from one of the pre-determined datasets) to each polygon within the Fishnet.

How do i display that the data from one source falls into the various polygons?

I am using ArcGIS, after completing the Spatial Join the values i wished to display within the Fishnet Polygons all came up as Null? Any solutions to this?

If you use ArcGIS and need to transfer the values of features of one layer (your study data) to another layer (fishnet grid polygons), consider using the Spatial Join geoprocessing tool.

In ArcGIS a Spatial Join should do this.
