Adding National Grid Reference data from spreadsheet into QGIS

Geographic Information Systems Asked by McGrawson on July 20, 2021

I have been given some point data and loaded it against the relevant open street map. I’m looking to create a point shapefile based on the National Grid References (NGR) found within a spreadsheet.

If memory serves correctly, if I have the spreadsheet incorporated into my QGIS 3.12 project, I can access the relevant column containing the NGR to produce a points layer.

I’m not sure how to do either and struggling for the correct search terms to find the answer.

One Answer

I would convert my coordinates outside Qgis, for example using the BGS coordinate converter, see https://www.bgs.ac.uk/technologies/web-services/coordinate-converter/. Then you can load it directly as a CSV file.
