How to generate geometry from latitude and longitude

Hi there,

I have little bit problem to generate a geometry based on longitude and latitude. Hope someone can help me.
Here I attach a file, where in that file, it have an input sheet (input data) and also output sheet (how the output should be).

The geometry should be polygon. So, I can see the location in a map.

Thank for review my problem.

Hi,

I believe what you're trying to do is achieved by using the Create Points tool, which can be found in the spatial category.

I have attached an image displaying the output using this tool. Just configure the X and Y fields within the tool to match your Latitude/Longitude fields and the tool will generate a centroid for each record which is visible on a map through the browse tool.

Just insert a Select tool after the Create Points tool and rename the Centroid field 'Geometry' to achieve your desired output!

Hope this helps!

Hi Jakemancer,

Thank you for reply and solution.. But that was not exactly output that I want...instead the geometry using a point..

I want it in form of polygon.

point - on the map, it only plot the location

polygon - on the map, it will show the area of that location

hope you understand what I am trying to say

This is my best guess as to what you're looking for. After you've created your points as @jakemancer has described, you can also use the Buffer tool to create a circle around that point. You can specify the radius of the circle based upon Miles or Kilometers.
