190187: Valid latitude or longitude field does not exist. Cannot convert text file to point feature class. Valid latitude fields are: <value>; Valid longitude fields are: <value>; Fields in source are: <value>

Description

The input text file does not have any recognizable latitude or longitude field names and cannot be imported.

Solution

Verify that the input text file contains fields with latitude and longitude. Rename the fields to one of the following recognized names and use the XY Table To Point tool to import the file separately:

  • Latitude—latitude, lat, y_coordinate, y_coord, or y
  • Longitude—longitude, long, lon, x_coordinate, x_coord, or x
