Open your data file in the worksheet. Go to Data | New Projected Coordinates. Click the (…) button for Source Coordinate System or Target Coordinate System.

In the Assign Projection dialog, you can find your projection or coordinate system.

  • If your data is in latitude and longitude, open the Geographic (lat/lon) section and select the datum of your lat/long data. Usually, this is World Geodetic System 1984.
  • If your data is in a predefined system (ie. some regional projection or coordinate system, UTM or State Plane), open the Projected Systems section and drill down from there. 
  • If your data is in a projection (ie. Lambert Conformal Conic) that requires user input (ie. Central Meridian), click the New button. Give the new projection a name, specify the base projection, the projection parameters, select a datum (or make a custom datum) and click OK.

If you will use a particular projection over and over again, click the Add to Favorites button. This makes that particular projection easy to find and access by including it under the Favorites section.
