Jennifer, put longitude for the X field and latitude for the Y.  Then click the "Edit" button in the dialogue and choose Geographic Coordinate System/North America/NAD83.  That should do it.

Subject: [CTGIS-L] Add XY Data frustration

Alright Folks,

I am at a loss.  I have an excel sheet with these columns:
OBJECTID            LAT_DD                LONG_DD
1                            44.10                    -73.52
2                            43.92                    -73.62
3                            41.37                    -74.20
ETC.                      ETC.                      ETC.

I keep getting this (see below) when I try to Add XY Data in ArcMap:
[cid:[log in to unmask]]

When I just click OK, no matter how I have the fields formatted, what I call OBJECTID, if I switch the XY field, if I switch the negative sign to the other column, I get the same warning, and the points do not show up where they should.  If I manually enter them in, they locate fine.  I have also tried editing a new feature class directly and creating a feature class from the data in ArcCatalog to no avail.  What else can I try?

Thanks,

Jennifer M. Kalasardo
