Hi,

I am using a 3rd party system that uses following values. Test Data is located in ONTARIO. It works with values

-8891974.718

5355781.694

but not with -79.878 , 43.287

Can you please help how to convert this?

@JummaKhan Looking at the coordinate values, you can try switching them as: 43.287, -79.878

I set my map to Web Mercator (3857) PCS and then I used Go To XY tool and I input your projected coordinates above, by changing units to meters:

By setting units to decimal degrees, I get the same point with geographic coordinates above:
