I am facing issues with geocoding point features from an excel sheet that contains the X and Y coordinates. I am successfully able to create the event layer from the spreadsheet. However, whenever I am trying to save the event layer (that is temporarily created while geocoding the points) as a shapefile, it does not display on the map. However, the attribute table shows that the data has correctly been exported to the shapefile. If it is so, then why am I not able to see the points in shapefile on the map? Please help. Thanks!

The data are fine... save to a file geodatabase since the field names won't allow for any other format (ie shapefiles).

I just use the XY to Point tool in arctoolbox, saved it to a geodatabase and you are done
