I am trying to import UTM Coordinates from an Excel file. The Datum is WGS84 and the format of the coordinate data is 376595 and 4741262 in separate columns. How do I give XData the zone? And, where do I find information on the acceptable formats for imported data?

I have tried the formats shown under "Chart of Supported Coordinate Formats" in Help. None of the combinations appear to work.

I am home right now and don't have anything I can import into XData, but I sure was thinking that you could only import files that were in Lat/Lon. Could be wrong. I try and give her a go in the morning and report back.

XData only allows you to import using Latitude and Longitude. Importing the excel file in the GIS tab will allow you to import using latitude/longitude, UTM/UPS, or SPCS.

Thanks Amy. I can't seem to find any files which would be easy to import without modification to test this. I thought that was right, just wasn't 100% sure.
