Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Does this software work on Mac, or just PC?
While the Excel Address Validator works on some version of Mac Computers, I currently do not offer support for MACs. As Macs use different VBA libraries, that can cause some conflicts with some of the functions in this tool.
-
Is this a one time fee, or ongoing?
You will only pay once for this software. This will provide upgrades and live support via zoom if needed for one year. However the software should serve your needs for years to come.

Is the Google Maps API key free? Do I have to pay for my calculations?
The Google Maps API key is free to get. However, keep in mind Google does require you to setup an account. You can run up to 40,000 calculations every calendar month free of charge. If you go over the 40,000 calculations Google charges an a-la-carte fee of 5 USD/1000 queries/calculations. More information on Google Maps API Pricing can be fond in this link.
-
Can the Excel Distance Calculator be used for non-US addresses? Can I enter, say Canadian or British Zip Codes?
Absolutely. The Excel Distance Calculator works with addresses from all over the world. As it calculates driving distances please note that there needs to be a driving path between the two addresses. So a calculation between “New York City, NY” and “Paris, France” will not return a value as there is no driving path between those two cities as they are separated by ocean.
-
What is the maximum number of addresses I can run at any one single run?
The Excel Address Validator is meant to help you cleanse sizeable address lists. However keep in mind that the calculation is at the rate of about 3-5 calculations per second. So a 200,000 calculations data set would not be practical as it would take quite a long time. In addition, be aware of the costs associated with running such a large number of address sets. Refer to the API Setup Page for more information, but as to current time google allows for 40,000 addresses monthly free of charge. (the first 200 dollars worth of charges are free every month)
