All,
I am new to ArcGIS and I am trying to add information (vendor names and addresses) to a map.
I have made an excel spreadsheet with the two first columns being latitude and longitude, followed by the rest of the information. When I do this, however, the following error message pops up: "File does not seem to contain fields with point coordinates". The lat and long info I've put is in decimal format, so, from what I've read, it should be in the correct format.
The spreadsheet is saved in .csv format. Are the spaces between names an issue with the .csv formatting? How can I format my information in order to successfully upload my table?
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan

This is part of a csv I used to upload data to ArcGIS.com
Put the " quote marks around text values and add an "OBJECTID" field and number your points also. It will probably work then.
Hope this helps,
