How do I display downhole point data such as geophysical or structural data with only a single Depth field?

Occurrence

Often down-hole data is collected as point data located with a single depth field. Examples include structural measurements such as foliation and bedding observations, geophysical readings (e.g. magnetic susceptability), or water table depth.

Solution

This is resolved in new feature in Discover 2017 or later.

In older versions -
Discover's Drillhole module requires all downhole data tables to have both individual From and To depth columns. In order the handle point data correctly, simply duplicate the single Depth field into two identical data columns, both populated with the same values.

To accomplish this easily:

1/. Use Table>Maintenance>Table Structure to rename the Depth field to, for example, 'From'. Then also create a new float field called 'To'

2/. Use the Table>Update Column tool to populate the new 'To' field with the contents of the 'From' field.
