...and if you cannot write a dbf, use the Delimited Text plugin to read your
ascii file and save as shp.

Hello Katie,
You can use the Ftools Plugin - Join Attribute tool to do this. Store
your ASCII file as DBF file and using the Join attribute tool using the
Join field (IED) you can link the attributes to the shape file.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. To answer your question, my grid is not a regular
grid. My grid is defined in one of my shapefiles. When you look at the
shapefile in Attribute table, this is what you see:
IED X Y KS
1 453780.594 3961930.333 3
2 515181.635 3977431.333 3
3 568577.604 4179629.000 3
where IED is the cell number I mentioned before, X and Y are in UTM
coordinates, don't know what KS (it's always 3). So the ascii file I
want to add has 2 columns, the first being 1 through length of file that
corresponds with the IED value in my shapefile and the second column is
the data.
Thanks,
Katie

Dear Katie,
There is a way to get this work done, I'm not sure if it is the right
way though.
Use the plugin name delimited text layer. You will have to save your
ASCII file to .csv format which is possible in windows notepad.
Feed in the details when you open the plugin.
What surprises me is, ".....There are 200,000 lines in each ASCII file,
with each line corresponding to the cell numbers in the shapefiles." I'm
not sure what you mean by cell number. Is it raster that has been
converted to vector.
Hope it works
Cheers

Good morning. I'm new to GIS and very new to QGIS. I have 3 files I need
to visualize. 2 are shapefiles that I easily visualized in QGIS. The
other file is an ASCII text file that has various parameters. There are
200,000 lines in each ASCII file, with each line corresponding to the
cell numbers in the shapefiles. I want to visualize the data in the
ASCII file using the same grid in the shapfiles. Does anyone know a way
to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Katie
