GEOADDRESS

Category: EGTools-only function

Returns the address at a coordinate (VWorld reverse geocoding).

Syntax

=GEOADDRESS(x, y, [return_type], [epsg], [api_key])

Arguments

Argument Required Description
x Required longitude or x
y Required latitude or y
return_type Optional 1 jibun (default), 2 road, 3 both
epsg Optional coordinate system EPSG code (default 4326 = WGS84)
api_key Optional vworld.kr key; entered once, then stored in the registry

Returns

Returns the address text at the coordinate (return_type=3 spills jibun and road addresses as two rows). Returns #VALUE! when return_type is outside 1-3, EPSG is invalid, or the coordinate is out of range for EPSG 4326, and #N/A when no address exists; a missing key, network, or service failure returns an "ERROR: ..." text.

Examples

Formula Result Description
=GEOADDRESS(126.9779,37.5663) Jibun address at the coordinate (needs network and an API key)

Notes

  • No API key ships with the add-in. Get one at https://www.vworld.kr and pass it once as the last argument; stored in the registry, and a rejected key is deleted automatically with a reissue guide.
  • An array in the x·y coordinates or api_key returns #VALUE! (an array api_key is rejected before saving, preventing a bad key from being stored) — for multiple items, copy the formula down row by row.
  • Supported: Excel 2010+. Always registered as GEOADDRESS on every Excel version.
