I have the following UTM coordinates:

ID Easting Northing UTM
1 10V 0614067 7080117 10V 614067 7080117
2 10V 0614134 7080506 10V 614134 7080506
3 10V 0614193 7080765 10V 614193 7080765

I have used the Convert Coordinate Notation -tool in ArcGIS Pro to try and convert the coordinates to WGS84. I've followed the instructions by Esri found in here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/data-management/supported-notation-formats.htm and used the UTM column as the input field with embedded spaces and latitude band instead of N (or S), no decimals and UTM Zone 10N as the input coordinate system.

I get the warning number 001293: Coordinate conversion failed for records. Any idea how I should format the UTM coordinates for ArcGIS Pro to recognize them?

    The 10V is not part of the easting, it's the MGRS grid cell, so the data isn't UTM, but MGRS.

  • The UTM zones are divided into latitude bands as well (each 8 degrees latitude) and marked with letters, that's where I believe the "V" comes from. Eg. in here: maptools.com/tutorials/grid_zone_details

  • Yes, those grid zones are assigned by the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). The linked document conflates the two incorrectly.

Your three lines of sample data worked for me with

  • Input coordinate system: WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_10N
  • Input coordinate format: UTM bands
  • X Field (where the data is) UTM

If the warning is being cause by other records, try ticking the 'Exclude records with invalid notation' option

  • Thanks Mark! I tried it again but without a success (the name warning appears with an empty output). Must be something with my data.
