convert easting/northing to longitude and latitude

    I have the following geometry datafield that seems to be in easting/northing format and I would like to convert it to lat/long so I can use it in my SQL Server and then convert it to geography.  But I haven't figure out how to get this started.  How should I go about addressing this issue?

    NAME,SHAPE_WKT

    DAWSON,   POLYGON ((1762016.7709563375 11044666.293098226,  1762016.7709563375 11044666.293098226))

    Thanks

    Hello HildaJ,

    The "x" and "y" units of "polygon" seems based on "ETRS89" system to me.

    To confirm, try this:

    https://tool-online.com/en/coordinate-converter.php

    https://ptsagkis.github.io/spatial-formats-parser/#

    For any input conversion, Geographical Data Reference System definition is needed... A pair of values is not enough.

    When origin's Reference System is stablished, then some math will do change Meters into Grades, Minutes and Seconds (for exemple).

    Hope it helps.

    RS.
