Hello All,
I have a UserForm that populates data and replaces all Bookmarks and References with what the user inputs. I would love to take the address from the input box and use it to find the Lat and Log coords and populate that in a bookmark made on the Word Document.
I have found someones GeoCoding code in Excel and it outputs to the cell to the right of where the address is entered.
How can I assign this value to a bookmark on my document?
Any help is much appreciated.
The code I found is as follows:
Option Explicit
Function GetCoordinates(Address As String) As String
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'This function returns the latitude and longitude of a given address using the Google Geocoding API.
'The function uses the "simplest" form of Google Geocoding API (sending only the address parameter),
'so, optional parameters such as bounds, key, language, region and components are NOT used.
'In 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 (tip: use the city name and the
'postal code if they are available).
'NOTE: As Google points out, the use of the Google Geocoding API is subject to a limit of 2500
'requests per day, so be careful not to exceed this limit.
'In order to use this function you must enable the XML, v3.0 library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> check the Microsoft XML, v3.0.
