How do you convert XY coordinates to latitude and longitude in Qgis?
Toggle editing (ctrl-E) and open the calculator (ctrl-I). Select “create a new field”, call it “Longitude”, and make the expression $x. Do the same for a second new attribute called “Latitude” and make the expression $y. You should now have latitude and longitude in your attribute table.

How to get Lat and long coordinates in QGIS?
This should give you Lat/long coordinates. In QGIS 3.8 (June 2019), there is now an algorithm to add the X and Y values. It can reproject coordinates on the fly. If you still need a Degree Minute or Degree Minute Second format, you need to use first the to_dm or to_dms expression to add these fields into the attribute table.
How do I ADD X and Y to QGIS?
Add your data to qgis. Once it has been added go to the processing tools and search for the added geometry values tools. Execute the tool. It will create a new layer called Added Geometry Info. That will add a xcoord and ycoord to your data. The second way to derive X and Y is to use the Field Calculator. Open the Attribute table and start editing.
Where do I find the grid in QGIS?
But there is no longer a CRS menu in Item Properties. In the tutorial, the grid appears when the coordinate reference system is set to WGS84 in the CRS Selector dialog box. Then the interval is set a 5 degrees.
