| Aug 19, 2017 at 9:31 | comment | added | JanneL | Now I did a very simple test. I picked up coordinates of a point on the map. I put it in excel and removed decimals and comma. I tried to "Add xy data" using the same coordinate system than the data frame. The same problems occurs. No point visible and it zooms to an incorrect location. So the problem obviously is neither WGS84 coordinates nor my original excel file. What can cause this? Something must have changed in some setting/configurations since the previous time I did this successfully. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me the solution. | |

| Aug 19, 2017 at 9:11 | comment | added | JanneL | Thanks for the replies. Zoom to layer zooms to about the same place than "Zoom To" for one of the rows in the table. I saved it as xlsx but now tried also csv (without commas). Doesn't help. I set display units to decimal degrees and it doesn't help. I really cannot understand what is wrong as I have done this successfully dozens of times before. | |

Also start a new ArcMap session, import the data and see if they look correct. Try setting the display units to decimal degrees too. It might be a localization issue with the commas as decimal places. | |
