Nice demo.

I wrote a VBA UDF for getting geo-codes back from Google maps API, it was not too hard, although i didn’t do any xml formating as i pulled back the results in CSV format.

I'll get some basic code up soon to save you a few minutes when you start experimenting with it. Hey Simon - Correct - it wouldn’t have to be VSTO.

You could just do a COM add-in in VS2005 (with shim?). For UDFs an automation project would do it - there is a base C# (VS2003) one on the codematic site somewhere. I'm keen to look into this too, maybe next week I'll get some time - email me and we can compare notes. A VBA version looks like a lot of leg work I reckon, unless like you say you can wrap up a .net component. cheers simon Steve

Off the top of my head I can think of a few options for a VBA version. First, you could develop a COM object that handles the details of working directly against the raw XML/HTTP exposed by the Google Data API as documented on the Protocol tab (http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/developers_guide_protocol.html).

Another option would be to use Google’s .NET library (http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/developers_guide_dotnet.html) and then create a COM callable wrapper for it.

I’ve also thought about some UDFs for retrieving info from Google Docs…

Can step 4 be replaced by the following? "4. Create an Excel 2003 Add-in project using VBA or VB6." That is, can the Google Data API be used in a non-dot-net programming environment? If so, then I'm going to look into the Google Data API. Excel Services isn’t widely available, but neither is Office 2007. Can step 4 be replaced by the following?
