| Feb 15, 2013 at 16:09 | comment | added | ben | How can I add the $x and $y column in qgis? I tried to edit the table but this did not work out! I am sorry if this is a too basic question, if you can recommend me a good document besides the official one, I would be more than happy... | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 16:04 | comment | added | AndreJ | If you have added the columns using $x and $y on the WGS84 layer, you should be able to save the shapefile. Saving the CSV directly is not possible. | |

| Feb 15, 2013 at 15:57 | comment | added | ben | Thank you both really very much! I am glad that there is someone helping me! The problem is that I would like to export these coordinates into the new format in a new shapefile or csv. How is this possible? | |

| Feb 15, 2013 at 15:53 | comment | added | AndreJ | The data in the attribute table has nothing to do with the coordinates! You can get the real coordinates with $x and $y in the field calculator. | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 15:51 | comment | added | ben | OK, so it changed the coordinates into the new format but I cannot see it looking at the table? | |

| Feb 15, 2013 at 15:47 | comment | added | Dan C | The values in the attribute table are not dynamic, they are not linked to the actual coordinates of the points, they won't change when you change the CRS of the shapefile. As far as QGIS is concerned, after you convert your CSV to a shapefile, those values are just another attribute, like the point's name. | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 15:46 | comment | added | AndreJ | If you right-click on the layers, Porperties, Metadata tab: Is the extent identical in all layers? For me, the WGS84 layer is in degrees. | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 15:39 | comment | added | ben | Thank you very much Andre for your help! The strange thing is, after doing all the steps carefully, the values in the table are still in the old GK 3 format (EPSG:31467). So if I look at the table values, nothing changed although I saved it correctly as a new shapefile in the right format and then saved it again into the format which I want. | |
