I have a shapefile, currently uploaded into QGIS of some vectors. I took the coordinates of the middle of these vectors in order to find their x and y coordinates. These coordinates are for instance: X 189372,586045238 and Y 519791,329052381. However, I need the long lat coordinates in order to link this data to other databases.
Already tried selecting EPSG:4326 as CRS, the tip in: Converting x,y coordinates to longitude,latitude using QGIS However, the coordinates do not change into the coordinates I want as a result.
Also tried the programming solution (Python) mentioned in: Converting x,y coordinates to longitude,latitude using QGIS However this code gives a lot of errors and results in nothing for me.
I think I'm missing something. What is it?
EDIT: still can't track the coordinates to a separate column in the attribute table.
My QGIS currently is in EPSG:4326, and the data points are visible. The CRS which the data originally has is a custom CRS. However, when I swipe with my mouse over the coordinates, it shows coordinates of 51 north and 5 east. Having a map of the Netherlands indicates the custom CRS does know where it is compared to the map of the world.
I did all the things commented above.
