I have a .shp with attribute data containing current zone, current code, proposed zone, proposed code, final zone, final code etc.

I want to duplicate this layer and style it to display a black outline style only where there is a mismatch between data in columns, this in effect creates a map that identifies where there is a change proposed to draw attention to these areas.

  • What GIS software are you using? Do you want to create a new shapefile with just the mismatched polygons or display the existing polygons that only mismatch? – Michael Stimson Jan 02 '19 at 03:25
  • I'm using QGIS 2.18.21, the latter, just need to filter it to display polygons where there is a change. – Oscar Jan 02 '19 at 03:56

    https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/25963/how-to-filter-features-in-a-layer should point you in the right direction.. your query should be something like field_1 <> field_2; Shapefiles aren't case sensitive. Consider adding a QGIS tag to your question to get the right kind of attention. – Michael Stimson Jan 02 '19 at 03:59
  • Thanks, that actually worked perfectly 'field_1 <> field_2' problem solved! looks fantastic – Oscar Jan 02 '19 at 04:09

  • @Michael Stimson, your one comment should be an answer. – artwork21 Jan 02 '19 at 13:13
