Hei Dan,

The extension is *.xyz

And I am very new to ArcGIS...

Can you suggest me a video where I can upload the files and convert them to a layers (the data is bathymetry)

And I got the data from another institution and I am afraid to change the file and corrupt them.

I need help  😞

The link was not very helpful to me because dont not really answer my question " where to click? Where is the Step by step..."

Make XY Event Layer (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

adding a header would help.

Is it comma separated or space separated?

file extension?  *.txt ? *.csf ?
