from xy coordinates to feature class

SrinivasaRao1 — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 10:44:56 GMT

Hi,

I have XY Coordinates in xls and I want to convert these in feature class layers.

I tried by using display XY data in ArcGIS data and ArcGIS pro but I am getting an error.

ERROR 000308 Invalid field type

Please review and let me know how to resolve this issue

the degree sign, I hope, is purely for display... otherwise the values are not numbers but text

Excel To Table—Conversion toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop after you clean up the excel file

and

Hi Udaya,

I believe Dan was correct that the degree sign is causing the issue. I removed the degree sign, and then executed the Excel to Table tool. I was then able to convert the geodatabase table to point data. Attached is the Excel table.
