I've downloaded accommodations from two different sources, now I have the list of elements from them in two separated shape files and also the list of elements in common between these two sources. How can I extract the elements from the attribute table that are only in the first source and not in the second and viceversa? I need something like a difference between two point vectors.

As an addition to the answer that you should use ArcGis, which is maybe not appropriate as you where looking for a Qgis solution you can use the same option there that can be found under
Vector-Geoprocessing-Merge
and leads to your desired output also in this Software.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question, but I guess the tool needed is actually not Merge but Symmetrical Difference. Commented May 11, 2016 at 19:23

Possible as well, but i understood it the way that the attribut table should contain only the indication of the origin of the feature. With symmetrical differnce you would change the geometry.– MatteCommented May 11, 2016 at 19:32
just go to arc gis and goto data management tools--->general--->merge.just add the 2 shapefiles u have and display the attribute table there u find the both data merged as you asked.and export the data and use in qgis as you tagged.

3Well, i don´t know why ArcGis is needed here as the same option is available in Qgis as well (as it is tagged in the question). It is found at Vector-Geoprocessing-Merge.– MatteCommented Apr 28, 2016 at 17:27

@Matte I think you should add a new answer so that the asker has the option of accepting an answer which directly addresses their question.– PolyGeo ♦Commented May 1, 2016 at 22:12

I think we need to keep in mind what tags the questioner has used so that answers are a little more related. Commented Jun 1, 2016 at 14:34
