[Qgis-user] Converting from degree decimal into degree-minutes-secondes

[Charles Dixon-Paver]

QGIS Expression builder has a to_dms function available.

For example, you could use the field calculator to update a text field like
so:

to_dms( "x_field" ,'x', 3) || ', ' || to_dms( "y_field" ,'y', 3)

Should yield results such as the following:
x_field: 23.3978700906344
y_field : -30.810918277945603
dms_field: 23°23′52.332″, -30°48′39.306″

You can get point positions also using QGIS expressions and the $x and $y
parameters
