  • Hi, Jon! Welcome to the GIS SE! Please make sure that you take the tour to get familiar with the Q&A model we follow here. A good question gives enough detail that other users shouldn't need clarification. Additionally, you should provide as much detail as possible about what you've already attempted in solving this issue yourself. For instance: when you ran random points inside polygons, what wasn't working about it? Did you simply get an output that wasn't suitable, or did it not give you anything?

From the content of the error message, it would appear that you're trying to run the algorithm on a field which contains null values, so that's the main problem.



Open up the Field Calculator and check the box to Update existing field and select the the field you're creating your points from, which I'm assuming is the "total" field in your data.



Enter the following expression:



if( "number" IS NULL, 0, "number")


This will insert 0's in place of all the nulls, which will allow you to run the Random Points tool now.

In Excel, re-arrange the table so that you have only one row for each Geography value. Create a column for each language, and put the number of speakers of that language in that column. Eg, convert this



enter image description here



to this



enter image description here



I did this manually, but I think you can do it automatically using something called a pivot table, as mentioned here and here.



Save the new table as a CSV. Add the new table to your QGIS project.



Join the new table to the neighborhood layer. Now you have a one-to-one relationship between table rows and neighborhood geometries.



Run Random points inside polygons once for each language category. Be sure to name each new layer with the name of the language.

  • There must be something wrong with how I'm joining the tables together. I recreated my table like you instructed. I've loaded both the shape file and the .CSV in QGIS. When I go to join, I select the shape file and join them. Then when I open the Attribute Table for my data set, the numbers appear correct. Nothing is Null. But when I run the Random Points tool it gives me the same error.

The input data you have has blank cells as one of the values. QGIS uses the field you specified to add points up to the number in the field. To do this it converts the field into an integer, but it cannot convert a blank cell into an integer.



The easiest way for you to fix this is to put 0's into the blank cells of your source data.

    In Excel, re-arrange the table so that you have only one row for each Geography value. Create a column for each language, and put the number of speakers of that language in that column. Eg, convert this



    enter image description here



    to this



    enter image description here



    I did this manually, but I think you can do it automatically using something called a pivot table, as mentioned here and here.



    Save the new table as a CSV. Add the new table to your QGIS project.



    Join the new table to the neighborhood layer. Now you have a one-to-one relationship between table rows and neighborhood geometries.



    Run Random points inside polygons once for each language category. Be sure to name each new layer with the name of the language.

    • There must be something wrong with how I'm joining the tables together. I recreated my table like you instructed. I've loaded both the shape file and the .CSV in QGIS. When I go to join, I select the shape file and join them. Then when I open the Attribute Table for my data set, the numbers appear correct. Nothing is Null. But when I run the Random Points tool it gives me the same error.

    The input data you have has blank cells as one of the values. QGIS uses the field you specified to add points up to the number in the field. To do this it converts the field into an integer, but it cannot convert a blank cell into an integer.



    The easiest way for you to fix this is to put 0's into the blank cells of your source data.
