Add points from a CSV file to QGIS 3 (the right way)

[@marktapay5323]

I followed your steps, but i still get only the excel spreadsheet in the layers, although i'm using the good coordinate system. Do you have any tips?

the fields on the preview are messed up after adding. how to i solve that

[@ajreed3112]

I cannot get points to show up in my project table. I uploaded the csv file and saved it as a shape file, but still no showing of my points. Is there a way to trouble shoot this?

Thank you! I am having an issue, however: The longitude points don't seem to be working, with the coordinate points appearing in a line (East to West). The Latitude seems to be correct, though, which is odd. Do you have a suggestion for me?! Thank you.

how would you do this for MGRS coordinates?

Add button is disabled while importing the CSV file, what needs to be done?

[@adilmajeed8439]

I got the answer by going through the documentation

What is the M field for? Z is elevation, X and Y are long and lat or eastying and northing, however I don't know what the M field is for when importing text delimited data. Can anyone help?

I struggled a bit to figure it out
Apparently it can be both a distance value for linear referencing (chainage of a road for instance) or just an addtional attribute besides xyz for every vertex
