Anonymous,
Please add custom columns in Power BI Desktop query editor.
=if [Coordinates]= "" then "" else (Number.FromText(Text.Start([Coordinates],2))*1+(Number.FromText(Text.Middle([Coordinates], 2, 2))*1)/60)*(if Text.Middle([Coordinates], 4, 1)="S" then -1 else 1)
=if [Coordinates]= "" then "" else (Number.FromText(Text.Middle([Coordinates], 6, 3))*1+(Number.FromText(Text.Middle([Coordinates], 9, 2))*1)/60)*(if Text.End([Coordinates], 1)="W" then -1 else 1)
