Add tabular data to ArcMap Video Lecture | Way to Learning GIS and ArcGIS - Data & Analytics

hello and welcome this short video would
like to show you how to add X&Y
coordinates like from a spreadsheet to
hawk join us and in this case arcmap so
i've prepared a little list of
coordinates so we have here coordinates
dot txt
simple file tap separated so you can so
you can see the tabs here and there is
the name then an attribute call takes a
long while latitude and some sort of
value that does not matter for that
minimal example and there are three
three interests here London Berlin and
Paris with approximate x and y
coordinates so this is a file and I
would like to add those points to the
map so I was starting within you with a
new map and in this case now what I will
do is when it's responsible or when it
is available here because I have some
issues I would like to add X&Y
coordinate so this guy is wire at data
at XY data just click there
then choose your file hmm I'm already
here into the desktop mode and there it
is Gordon 860 normally it tries to find
the x and y field for set or tries to
find X&Y field for itself so if you're
not really satisfied with them with the
situation just choose from the drop-down
here we don't have a that field was so
we don't have a height value and what is
crucial is the coordinate system of
input coordinates so when it comes to
the fall you have seen that this their
decimal degrees so we will use decimal
degrees and
in the Arab section here we can simply
search for a project coordinate system
and this is here in the project
coordinate system but we don't use that
we will use a geographic coordinate
system because we don't have project
data yet and in our case it is the
fourth reaches six that is most widely
used and it has decimal degrees it is
not projected and you know the the goe
the the underlying assumptions are
mostly valid for all the world and
normally in GPS coordinates are in that
system so we will use this WGS 1984
double-click connect a warming if the
resulting layer will have restricted
functionality yeah that's fine
so just press on ok now the table does
not have any object field so it will be
created that's okay at the moment so now
the work so we have here London Berlin
and Paris and unfortunately the
OpenStreetMap base map here is not very
very fast and rendering in my NOC map
distribution but you can see that we now
have an event layer here and we need to
we need to save that as a shape fall in
the end so we can work with that
afterwards in an appropriate way so
right click on coordinates txt text
event and just data export data we will
export all features to our feature class
called cities in this case and it is
stored here under the opportunist okay
yes I would like to override it do you
want the ad defaults yes I would like to
have them as well and so there we are
those are now our coordinate so you can
easily also change the change the style
of it so it appears a little bit bigger
when the OpenStreetMap
so now we have here our fields and you
can easily ask what is this
no featuring identified there it is so
we have the point we have an F ID you
know the budget and everything like that
thank you very much for watching take in
a good boy
