Hi, 
I imagine you are doing a join using the local government field or is this a 
spacial join? 
I imagine you are using a field.  Would you have an extra space before the 
commas?  That would through things off. 
Try loading the shapefile and the csv data without the join?  Then, copy a 
government value from the shapefile then try to find it using a query or a 
filter in the csv.  If you know it's there and can't find it, then you 
could have a character or something throwing off the join. 
Is the gov field a unique value field?

I am trying to join a csv file and shp file in QGIS. They both have common 
fields. I have imported the CSV file properly. It has two fields, a name (local 
government area) and an integer (total complaints per area). I have checked the 
properties in QGIS and they show string and int. I want to display total 
complaints per local government area on a map When I join the CSV and shp 
files, I get null values under the total complaints field. I have tried lots of 
things, but without success so far. Any help would be appreciated. Phillip
