GEO Coordinates in wrong format

Hi guys,

 

i have a file including latitude and longitude in a wrong format.

How can I get that in the correct format so that Qlik recognizes it as geo coordinates.

EX

latitude = 149.015

longitude = 101.599

Please see also the attachment.

THX

Dear Allorens,

 

I don't understand  and not agree to your answer.

You have the format:

lon

X,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

lat

XX,XXXXXXXXX

 

But I have the format:

lon

XXX.XXX

lat

XXX.XXX

Use GeoMakePoint function

In case of formatting problems use string functions (e.g. replace) for conversion.

Hello, 

Your lat and lon are indeed in a wrong format. Seems like they come from some proyection not using WGS84.

For change the proyection in QS the only way is using GeoAnalytics.
