I have created a tab-separated txt-file using Stata, that has three variables: lat, lon and ID. When importing this to ArcMap using "Add XY data", all of the latitudes that are not integer values are reported as missing, whereas all longitude values are recognized.
I have tried the following solutions and they did not work:
- Rounding numbers so they become shorter
- changing variable names
- importing only small parts of my data
Would be very grateful for any help!
EDIT: By experimenting with copy-pasting into Excel, I now found that if I export to Excel rather than as a txt-file, the import works. Still no idea why it failed in the first place, however.
