I have a tab delineated .csv file that I have uploaded to ArcGIS online. It is in WGS 84.  The points display, but are displayed in Antarctica, when they should be in Northern New York. I have tried other online mapping programs with this data, and those all display it correctly. What am I doing wrong?

It happens because you have Lat and Long turned around. Try switching it and it should work!

Once you exported the table, open it in excel and replace x with y and vise versa, and then import it to ArcGisOnline.

Here is the link to the basic data. When I save it as a tab delineated file exactly as shown, it comes back with locations in Anarctica.
