Aggregating point data into polygons using QGIS

Question

I would like to aggregate point statistics to a specific polygon layer which is a 100*100m raster.

The point dataset includes address data of buildings and their heating energy consumption. So the output should be a sort of heat density map with average heat energy consumption per hectare (for example).

So this is the attribute I want to aggregate on the 100*100m Raster:

I tried algorithms like "Point statistics for polygon" or "v.vect.stats" where the first one was not able to create the output layer. You can see the settings below. I uploaded the protocol-file Here.

With "v.vect.stats" an output-layer is created but without calculations.

Settings:

Output:

The datatype of the field is "Real" and I deleted all fields with "NULL" but there were no improvements on the output.

Does anybody have experienced the same problems?

Any ideas what another factors could be why those algorithms don't work for me?

I use QGIS-Version 3.12.1-București - maybe this could be the problem?

Edit 28.02.2021: This is the protocol of "point statistics for polygons" after shortening the attribute names:

This is how my layer looks like:

This is how the wanted output should look like:

Answer 1

If I have well understood the question, the process if very simple since you can achieve what you are looking for with a single tool: "Join attributes by location (summary)" (see bugmenot123 recommendation in the comments part above)

• Input layer: the polygon grid
• Join layer: the points layer
• Fields to summarize: the column containing the heat energy consumption values
• Summaries to calculate: choose mean and/or others summaries (sum, min, max etc.)

Output: a new layer is created with a column "mean_value"

Hope it helps !

Answer 2

I used the extension "Add spreadsheet layer" to import join tables for my layers. BUT those imported fields had no "Lengh" and "Precission" defined (screenshot).

I solved the problem by creating new fields and pasting the values using the field calculator.
