Replace Cell with Value

[NeightC]

Hello,
I am new to Excel and this Forum. I am a student and currently utilizing a User Defined Function I found code for that geocode's addresses utilizing the Google maps api. Below is the code for the function I am using. I was hoping someone could help me have this function replace the cell's contents with it's value at the end the function executing. I have tried various methods I have seen while scouring countless forums and have gotten nothing but errors.

=IF(E1<>"",IF(E1="INT",mygeocode(F1&" "&G1),mygeocode(E1&" "&F1&" "&G1)),"")

I am using this formula down the whole column to determine if there is address data and if so, execute the function, otherwise, leave the cell blank. Unfortunately, I have too many addresses and my spreadsheet crashes when it tries to geocode every time it opens. Also, Google Maps API has usage restrictions as well. So, if someone knows how to have this function replace the cell with the value at the end of each use, I should be able to resolve these issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Function MyGeocode(address As String) As String
Dim strAddress As String
Dim strQuery As String
Dim strLatitude As String
Dim strLongitude As String
strAddress = URLEncode(address)
'Assemble the query string
strQuery = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?"
strQuery = strQuery & "address=" & strAddress
strQuery = strQuery & "&sensor=false"
'define XML and HTTP components
Dim googleResult As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
Dim googleService As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Dim oNodes As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNodeList
Dim oNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
'create HTTP request to query URL - make sure to have
'that last "False" there for synchronous operation
googleService.Open "GET", strQuery, False
googleService.send
googleResult.LoadXML (googleService.responseText)
Set oNodes = googleResult.getElementsByTagName("geometry")
If oNodes.Length = 1 Then
For Each oNode In oNodes
strLatitude = oNode.ChildNodes(0).ChildNodes(0).Text
strLongitude = oNode.ChildNodes(0).ChildNodes(1).Text
MyGeocode = strLatitude & "," & strLongitude

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))


Next oNode
Else
MyGeocode = "Not Found (try again, you may have done too many too fast)"
End If

End Function
Public Function URLEncode(StringVal As String, Optional SpaceAsPlus As Boolean = False) As String
Dim StringLen As Long: StringLen = Len(StringVal)
If StringLen > 0 Then
ReDim result(StringLen) As String
Dim i As Long, CharCode As Integer
Dim Char As String, Space As String
If SpaceAsPlus Then Space = "+" Else Space = "%20"
For i = 1 To StringLen
Char = Mid$(StringVal, i, 1)
CharCode = Asc(Char)
Select Case CharCode
Case 97 To 122, 65 To 90, 48 To 57, 45, 46, 95, 126
result(i) = Char
Case 32
result(i) = Space
Case 0 To 15
result(i) = "%0" & Hex(CharCode)
Case Else
result(i) = "%" & Hex(CharCode)
End Select
Next i
URLEncode = Join(result, "")
End If
End Function

First:

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Code tags help with reading the code.

Second:
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
