For the first question:
convert your xls file in a txt or csv file, and then use the
"Delimited text - Add delimitex text layer" plugin to view the data.
That you convert it in a shapefile.
Hope this helps

For the second, try

180 degrees
-->
Three questions from someone newish to qgis:
1. how do you put point data on a map in qgis. This seems to
be the simplest thing to do in most other gis systems but
the most difficult in qgis or have I completely missed
something. E.g. I have a file of lat long coordinates or
ordnance survey coordinates in an excel file and simply want
to plot them out, how do I do that? I have actually done it
but only via another gis (then saving and replotting the
resulting vector format file in qgis) or via a .kml file
again generated elsewhere.
2. how to get hold of free basemap outline data e.g. countries
of the world. I have tried very many different sources and
still not found a nice set of data that is relatively easy
to use.
3. how to display and use maps that are not centred on the
prime meridian and go past 180 degrees e.g. maps of Russia?
This is for a project to plot records of species in Russia i.e.
plot the location of a sighting, seems straightforward enough but
actually turns out to be very difficult.
Thanks
Mike
