Importing CSV (Excel) Coordinates into QGIS

In this tutorial, we will show you how to import comma separated value (CSV) data which contains latitude & longitude into QGIS, how to plot the points on a map, and how to export the data into an ESRI Shapefile.

Thanks man, probably the most asked question when starting georeferencing in gis and qgis and you answered it without the chaff. thanks bud!

Thank you for this video! I am trying to do a GIS assignment at university and had no idea how to do it. You are a life saver!

I love you. So. Much.
I have been trying so hard to figure out why I couldn’t get my points onto my map, trying all kinds of spatial joins, editing the .csvt file to make attributes integers—everything. I found this video and realized oh my god I put the longitude values on the y-axis and latitude on the x-axis! Thank you!!!

Thank God for people like you, helping us poor struggling folks everyday! Very simple, step-by-step explanation. Thank you very much!

[SamVekemans]

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. Clearly explained with no nonsense and no expert language.

Your tutorial is the best so far, I watched just one of your videos and i was able to create a shapefile now working on creating a map. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

I was overwhelmed by the quality of specialized tutorials on this channel. You are doing a wonder work.

I wish these videos have a longer version which is a composition of all these shorter ones joined together to create a single video. It's the trend now so that some of us who find it difficult to move from one video to the other will learn from a single extended video. These days it's common to see videos of over seven hours. Please look into this suggestion. Thanks.

Thanks a lot! That's probably the most common question when starting georeferencing in GIS and QGIS, and you gave a straightforward answer without any unnecessary details. Appreciate it, buddy!

Me salvaste de la frustración 😁, pues cargaba el archivo como capa vectorial y simplemente no podía hacer que QGIS reconociera el formato de cada columna del csv. I LOVE YOU!!!

[SarfarazGolamAhmad]

This is exactly, what I have been looking for. Thank you very much for creating such a nice tutorial video. Appreciate that. 🙂

Thanks alot. Used MGE & Arcview many years ago. I don't find QGIS easy to use (but I appreciate how good it will be) but you explain it very, very well.

Loved this video! You kept the explanation simple, and stuck to the point! Soo many other vids go off track.

Saved me alot of trouble I was experiencing using QGIS.
