Hello,
Could you please clarify for me what files I need to download before I can use the Easy Table tool? I am trying to create tables using summary file 3. I understand that I would need to download the geo file for each state (e.g. azgeo_uf3) I need to draw info from, but am unclear what census data files I need to download for th program to work. When I try to run the SF3 to Table Pro Tool, it says that it can’t find the files.
Thank you so much for your help. The American Fact Finder website is a nightmare, as I need about 20 tables for hundreds of different block groups from several states. This tool seems fantastic!
I’m not sure what you mean by “Easy Table tool” and “Table Pro Tool.” It sounds like you might be using a different program altogether. Maybe the freeware database software ProTool? If you are using GISTools and you are looking for SF3 tables then you need to download the SF3 geo file and all of the various SF3 tables from the Bureau’s ftp site. Put them all in one folder. GISTools should then work. I sent you my telephone number so feel free to call me (PST) if you are still having problems.
