I have received errors on my attempt to import locations: "Invalid POINT value". I have old data with addresses that I would like to tie to the location field....how do I do this?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your question.
When importing data into a Location Field on your table, you have to have one field on your file that has the longitude and latitude coordinates separated by a comma in it to get a successful import and mapping of the point into the field.
If you are trying to import the actual address in your file, you will need to convert your address to longitude and latitude coordinates (outside of the TrackVia system) and then attempt your import again.
Below, is a link to an article we have in our knowledge base that helps walk you through the needed setup for a successful import, as well as, some other details about Location fields.

Thanks again,
Justin
