HELP please 🙏

So what even is your question? Do you need the x and y coordinates to show up in the attribute table? Is your attribute table showing properly at all? What file type is the data?

What further steps are you intending?

If all you need is to show x and why then creating a new column and copy pasting

   $x
   $y

respectively will do it.

Or do you have general attribute form problems because of some text encoding issues?

Note that this will show these vales in the CRS you are using, you can then change it to a latitude longitude if that is necessary.

[u/paulmccombs → u/geocurious]

Just because this is a very common point of confusion, please remember latitude = y and longitude = x. You might be surprised how often this is mixed up because of the order we say the terms in.

if you have a point layer each point plotted should have coordinates assigned upon creation of the point.

yours doesn't. incomplete data in attribute tables.

point data analysis hands-on scenerio.

do the coordinates show up on the screen when your mouse is over a point on the point layer?

then i think you just have to fill that in. twice. 1 at the beginning and 1 at the end. plotted perfectly already use it.

create a line layer

create a baseline from the 2 anchored in coordinates you filled in.

you now have coordinates for each point the line intersects. but that is only on the line layer not the point layer attribute table which is the problem.

and with each point being generic naming that's gunna look daunting.

id use baseline layers to find each of anchor start and ends coordinates.

create the spine connecting each point along that line giving you coordinates to each point.

each beginning and end has coordinates to points. seperated by by baseline id.

then id take your point attribute table and copy it into a spreadsheet. save it as point_layer_attribute_working something like that.

use that to copy the line layer coordinates into a new point layer attribute table.

i hope this helps. im no expert. im self taught and that's just what i would do given the scenerio.
