can anyone have an idea about the reverse geocoding in excel for using developer mode?.
Reverse geocode means convert lat/long to address of the particular location.

Shijith, if I’m not mistaken, Noor is looking for the opposite: convert lat-long to an address.

The source for a geocoder is at https://github.com/sanand0/geocode-excel. We can change the API to a reverse geocoding one like https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-reverse

Noor, happy to help with this if you like. I’m reachable at 9741552552 and s.a...@gramener.com

Regards
Anand

You can use this excel add-in http://www.calvert.ch/geodesix/ for reverse geocoding

According to this page , after installing the add-in, you would type in a cell: =Geocode(“formatted_address”, B2). 

B2 is just a cell having the coordinates in a 'lat, lon' format, that is latitude followed by longitude with a comma in between, for eg. 51.5049511,-0.1431289

If there's a better excel solution out there though, please let Noor know

Great.

In any case, I just added reverse geocoding to the Excel file at https://github.com/sanand0/geocode-excel. FYI.
