I have a table as follows:
I have points and polygons. Every polygon has a variety of points inside. Some have 6, some have 12, some have 0.
FID_2* is polygon ID.
I would like to populate Count( 9th column above) automatically according to FID_2*, that is, polygon ID.
For example, when FID_2* says 46( first row) I want Count to be populated as 6 because I would like to match each point with the polygon they are in. (Polygon 46 has 6 points)
This is another picture showing my points and polygons:
Could you help me solve this?
