GEOCODER

Category: EGTools-only function

Returns the GPS coordinate of an address (VWorld; road then jibun).

Syntax

=GEOCODER(keyword, [epsg], [api_key])

Arguments

Argument Required Description
keyword Required the address
epsg Optional coordinate system EPSG code (default 4326 = WGS84)
api_key Optional vworld.kr key; entered once, then stored in the registry

Returns

Returns a spilled 1-by-3 array of {x, y, refined address}. Returns #VALUE! for an empty address or invalid EPSG and #N/A when no coordinate is found; a missing key, network, or service failure returns an "ERROR: ..." text.

Examples

Formula Result Description
=GEOCODER("세종대로 110") GPS coordinate of an address (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.
  • Tries the road-address geocoder first, then falls back to parcel (jibun).
  • An array in the address 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 GEOCODER on every Excel version.
