Welcome to the CDXZipStream July 2012 Newsletter7777
We've
just added some new features to the CDXZipStream
function CDXLocateMP, which will now allow you to
identify county, Metropolitan Statistical Area,
and even census tract for a specific address.
CDXLocateMP uses Microsoft MapPoint working
in the background to obtain this data. And
speaking of MapPoint, Microsoft has just released
MapPoint 2013.
Here
are our latest blog postings:

Identify
County, MSA, and Census Tract
The
CDXZipStream custom function CDXLocateMP, can
return a lot of information about specific
addresses, and now can do even more by identifying
county name, metropolitan/micropolitan statistical
area name, and even census tract
number.
Just
right-click on any cell on your worksheet, and
under the CDXZipStream Functions menu select
CDXLocateMP. Input address information (or
the worksheet cell location of the address) and
select the type of data you would like returned.
CDXLocateMP works with Microsoft MapPoint
running in the background to find a matching
address in the MapPoint database and retrieve the
desired data associated with it. For a
general tutorial on how to use CDXLocateMP, please
refer to the YouTube video tutorial Geocoder
in Excel. In this case just
specify county, MSA, or census tract in lieu of
latitude and longitude data. |
MapPoint
2013 is Here
Microsoft
has just released the 2013 version of MapPoint,
available for purchase from their website
and also available as a fully-functional 14 day
trial. (Previous trials were 60 days.)
This
latest release has added about 150,000 miles of
new roads over MapPoint 2011, for a current total
of 6,688,642 miles of navigable roads. The
user interface also has an updated look, but there
are not many changes in the software
functionality; this is primarily a data update for
maps and points of interest.
CDXZipStream
uses Microsoft MapPoint in the following custom
functions:
-
CDXLocateMP (for geocoding and other data
retrieval for specific address
locations)
-
CDXRouteMP (for driving distance/time calculation
and route optimization)
If
you are a regular user of these functions,
consider upgrading to the new MapPoint to take
advantage of the more accurate, updated
maps. |
