    Using Google maps to autocorrect a spreadsheet of badly formatted street addresses

    Hi guys is it possible for google maps or any other program to autocorrect a spreadsheet of badly formatted street addresses into ones that are formatted and correct?

    For example, one bad address might be:

    80 riverside dr. ny, ny 20678

    The actual address is:

    80 Riverside Dr, New York, NY 10024, USA

    I have about 5000 entries in my spreadsheet and it would take forever for me to check them manually.

    Thanks in advance,
