COnverting Lat Long to UTM from an Excel Spreadsheet

Have a look at the AttributeReprojector transformer.

You can find the documentation here

Hi @dferon89, in FME you can accomplish this using CSV Reader

The details steps are mentioned in this article https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/56486/converting-from-csv-data-2.html

• Add CSV Reader to Workspace > Select the File > Click on Parameters > AttributeDefinition
• Update Attribute that is storing Longitude Latitude to x_coord and y_corrd
• Next step is to use VertexCreator to create Points.
• If you want to create Poly or Lines use PointConnector and Group By the attribute that will control the geometry creation.
• Now use CSMapReprojector to reproject from LL to UTM
• If you want to convert to CSRS UTM 12N you might need an additional grid shift files, see article here https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19461/canadian-spatial-reference-system-csrs-high-precis.html
• The grid shift files can be located here https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/58672/where-can-i-find-the-csrs-transformation-grids-for.html
• Here is screenshot how to install these grid-shift files https://www.screencast.com/t/qdoxA9y

No idea where to begin, never used FME before.... tried a few tutorials but even they aren't that much of help

This might be accomplished directly in ArcGIS as well.
