With geographic coordinates, the features can be mapped and entered into Geographic Information Systems, or the coordinates can be embedded into media such as digital photographs via geotagging.

Almost 10 months have passed since my last posts about Google APIs ( Trip Distance and Elevation functions accordingly), so, today we will see how to extract the latitude and longitude of a given address using the Google Geocoding API.

The developed VBA function can be utilized directly in Excel, as long as the user provides a valid address.

The so-called GetCoordinates function sends a request to the corresponding Google server and, then, uses the servers response to read the appropriate XML nodes in order to extract the required information (latitude, longitude).

Based on GetCoordinates, the other two functions were derived: GetLatitude and GetLongitude.

As their names imply, they return (as a number) the latitude and the longitude of the given address, in case the user needs only one of the two returned parameters of the GetCoordinates function.

If you need the opposite (Reverse Geocoding), check the GetAddress function.

Have in mind that the use of the Google Geocoding API is subject to a limit of 40,000 requests per month, so be careful not to exceed this limit.

Update: the function has been updated to reflect the changes in Google API.

Update 2 (July): The EncodeURL function was added to avoid problems with special characters.

This is a common problem with addresses that are from Greece, Serbia, Germany, and some other countries.

At this point, I would like to thank Viacheslav Komarivskyi for this suggestion.

However, this function is only available in Excel 2013 and newer versions.

Update: The code was switched to late binding, so no external reference is required.

The next two functions use the GetCoordinates function to get the latitude and the longitude of a given address.

End Function NOTE: The GetCoordinates function uses the simplest form of Google Geocoding API (sending only the address parameter), so, optional parameters such as bounds, language, region, and components are NOT used.

In the case of multiple results (for example two cities sharing the same name), the function returns the first occurrence, so be careful in the input address you use.

Tip: apart from the city name, use also the postal code, if it is available.

Since I have no intention to copy the entire Google page, anyone who is interested to learn how the Google Geocoding API works, heshe can visit the corresponding page.

WARNING: The code will NOT work on a Mac Test your geocoding API key Since a lot of people had trouble applying the API key, I decided to develop a small validator, with which you can check if your key can work with the above VBA functions.

Simply paste your API key in the text box and press the button.

After a few seconds, you will receive a response from the Google server.

Check your Key Server Response: Apart from OK, any other value that you will get (e.g.

REQUESTDENIED), it will automatically mean that either your key is invalid, or you have not enabled the correct API (in this case the Geocoding API).

If this occurs, ensure that you followed exactly these instructions to get your API key.
