I have a graphic modeler with two inputs, a shapefile and an Excel file. I would like to make a join by attribute between the two. But I am confronted with a concern, the join can only do this between two vectors, and I cannot transform the Excel file into a vector.

The goal is to call my excel file, see attachment

    There's a difference between a join and a spatial join. Only the latter requires two geometry sources.

  • Hi. I have changed my answer to make more clear the different steps to follow to create the model as you want to do, working with a CSV file (Excel file). I hope now is more clear and suit your request.

To use a model to join one CSV file and one shapefile without adding the CSV file (Excel file) in the map, you can create a model using two Vector layer inputs.

The CSV (Excel file) file is added creating a Vector Layer with this parameters:

The second input will be your shapefile added as Vector layer.

This is the result:

When you run the model, where is requested the Excel file click in the icon in the left (as in image) and navigate to your file.

Your output file will be a vector with the joined attributes.
