How to Import Points from an Excel data sheet to AutoCAD

I will use some easy commands and formulas that will make you
understand and you will be able to import points with just a single click !

First use CONCATENATE formula to create the [Easting,Northing] format or [X,Y] format.

CONCATENATE formula which joins two or more text strings into one text string.


Syntax
CONCATENATE (text1,text2,...)
Text1, text2, ...   are 2 to 255 text items to be joined into a single text item. The text items can be text strings, numbers, or single-cell references.

In Association with Amazon.in Another Formula can be used
You can also use the ampersand (&) calculation operator instead of the CONCATENATE function to join text items. For example, =A1&B1 returns the same value as =CONCATENATE(A1,B1).


Now take two columns and in the first column type "PO". PO is an AutoCAD command, PO stands for POINT.
In the second column keep the [E,N] format.
Drag the formula to the end of your data limit.

Now copy all the data list within the two columns and paste in AutoCAD
See the bellow examples:

and Then:

 Now you are done!
Your points will be imported into AutoCAD.
Now zoom the drawing to see the points and if the points are not visible then press ZOOM [Enter] EXTENT [Enter]
and change the Point Format
Format Menu--->Point Style-----> choose the Point style and size.
