How can I convert a csv file in lat/long data into an Esri Shapefile that is BNG easting/northing?
I have a csv file containing lat/long feature data. I want to convert this in to BNG easting/northing ESRI shapefiles.
Hi @jamesward
I would recommend taking a look at the following article for instructions on how to convert from CSV to spatial geometry. This article demonstrates how to create Shapefile points from tabular CSV data (with video):

To convert your data to British National Grid, you would need to define your source coordinate system and use one of the Reprojector transformers within your workflow to reproject the data. For this part, I would recommend this article:

Hope this helps,
