On my attribute table, I can calculate a field but I don't see the handy Calculate Geometry that I found in 10.2.2. 

Do I need to go back to a script to add a Latitude and Longitude field in my attribute table?

I am using a File Geodatabase table in ArcGIS Pro 1.0 (Prerelease 2, Build 1692

Since the accepted answer was my answer, I went and added an update to state the OP's question about Calculate Geometry in ArcGIS Pro has been addressed.

hi, im using ArcGisPro 3.5.2 - The Calculate Geometry tool runs, but does not display coordintaes in the x n y fields. ive checked all the prerequisites for using the tool and they are all inline - coordinate system etc...

the solution above adds new "point x and point Y fields" - this does not help in using an existing data set with and existing x y fields.

@ShailendraKomal I added links to the Calculate Geometry Attributes as well as requirements of the field/data type for the geometry attributes. Check if you are using 'double' type for XY coordinates.

Updating this old thread for tracking and community documentation. 

Use Calculate Geometry Attributes to add information to a feature's attribute fields representing the spatial or geometric characteristics and location of each feature, such as length or area and x-, y-, z-coordinates, and m-values.

  • Access the Calculate Geometry tool by opening the attribute table and right-clicking the field to bring up the context menu. There is an option to 'Calculate Geometry'.
  • This tool can also be accessed directly from the geoprocessing pane from within the Data Management toolbox > Calculate Geometry Attributes.
  • You can select an existing field or provide a new field name. If a new field name is provided, the field type is determined by the type of values that are written to the field.
  • Count attributes are written to long integer fields; area, length, and x-, y-, z-coordinate, and m-value attributes are written to double fields; and coordinate notations such as Degrees Minutes Seconds or MGRS are written to text fields.
