I am actually in a similar situation to the original post on this forum, and could use a better response.
I have 2 X/Y files that I did a Spatial Join on, both of them with an Angular Unit = degree. The distance values I got were decimal numbers that make no sense whatsoever, and I have no idea as to how to convert them to miles.
I have tried Help, I have tried a field calculator, tried multiplying and/or dividing by 43,360, but no luck.
Please clarify ASAP.
Thank you,
