Hello,
I am probably looking for help doing something that will wind up complicated and truly be easier to just copy/paste the URL addresess for each geo location into the proper cell in Excel but figured I would ask to see if there's an easy way to do what I am looking to do.
I have created a project using Google Earth and it contains so far 4 individual locations but will continue to grow. I would like to know if there is an easy way to import the KML file and have it properly assign each location to a corresponding cell in Excel. For example, I enter the address I am looking for in Google Earth (GE) and when I save the location to the GE project I edit the identifying information to include the full address and the website URL.I already have an Excel file with information on each location that includes the address and the URL address so there will be a 1 to 1 match and each match will need to be entered into column "D" (now named "Google Earth Geo Location). I would like it to be either simply a clickable live URL or automatically open the GE location in that cell to give a visual of the location (if possible it would be AWESOME - but not a dealbreaker).
I worked a short while ago with a Microsoft 365 support person and he got me though the following:
- Rename a copy of the KML file exported from GE to .xml
- Import that file into Excel choosing the "XML Template" option and clicking yes
- Saving that file as "file name whatever" .xml
- That's as far as we got.
If it is going to be far easier for me to simply copy/paste the URL for the geolocation please feel free to tell me that. I am looking for easy not for nuclear physics.
Is there any way do do this? Full disclosure, I am not a scripter or a programmer. I can however, follow directions and pick it up. I have provided the master worksheet and since this system doesn't allow .xml files to be uploaded I have uploaded a screenshot of the Excel .xml worksheet I have created.
Thank you,
