+3Hello,
I’m trying to convert decimal coordinates into a DMS format with hemisphere indication.
Example : 1.4861803 ; 43.5713123
Target format : 1°29’10.2491” E ; 43°34’16.7243” N
In my workflow, i used DMSCalculator transformer to split the coordinates into degrees, minutes and seconds. This part works correctly.
However, I am now stuck when trying to reconstruct the final formatted string.
Does anyone know the best approach to rebuild this format ?
Thanks advanced,

One way to do this is to use an AttributeCreator with lon = @Value(x_degrees)°@Value(x_minutes)’@Value(x_seconds)” E.

+3Hello, thank you for your response. That is the solution I am currently using.
Is there a transformer that calculates this format directly?
+66Not that I know of, but there are plenty transformers on the FME hub which I never have used so...
+23Hi
Or you could put all of the math from the DMSCalculators into the AttributeCreator:
@int(@Value(_x))°@int(@int(@abs(@Value(_x)) * 3600.0)%3600 / 60.0)'@fmod(@abs(@Value(_x)) * 3600.0,60)"E; @int(@Value(_y))°@int(@int(@abs(@Value(_y)) * 3600.0)%3600 / 60.0)'@fmod(@abs(@Value(_y)) * 3600.0,60)"N
