ArcGIS for Excel functions

Note:

You must sign in to an ArcGIS account to use the ArcGIS for Excel functions.

Microsoft Excel includes a set of functions or formulas that you can use to calculate information, from simple arithmetic sums to complex population of cells.

ArcGIS for Excel includes similar functions that you can use for geocoding, data enrichment, and performing route operations. Each function starts with the equal sign (=) in a cell followed by the function name and its input parameters, if any, in parentheses.

See Get started with ArcGIS for Excel to learn about setting up an ArcGIS for Excel map.

Tip:

As you write a function in a cell, you can use cell references by selecting a specific cell or cells in the column or row. This ensures data integrity. See the Microsoft Create or change a cell reference article for more information.

Note:

The geocoding, GeoEnrichment Service , and routing functions consume credits. The SUGGESTADDRESS function consumes credits when you request more than 15 suggestions. Helper Functions do not consume credits. Your ArcGIS functions are cached to prevent additional credit consumption if and when the functions are refreshed. This cache increases the size of your Microsoft Excel file. To clear the ArcGIS for Excel functions cache, click the Clear cache button in the Settings pane.

You can copy the examples in this topic into an Excel worksheet to visualize how functions work. You can also use the ArcGIS for Excel functions in the Function Builder tool.

Some ArcGIS functions may fail with an error that the service is not available when running them within a cell in Excel. Contact your organization administrator to enable the service or get more information.

See the ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online documentation for more information about services.

The following sections describe the ArcGIS for Excel functions and include the syntax, an example, and descriptions of the parameters.

Note:

In the function examples below, the actual result of the functions excludes the header. Run the ADDHEADERS function to request the headers.

GETADDRESS

Determine the address at a particular longitude-latitude location through reverse geocoding.

NameDescriptionDetails

Driving Time

Models the movement of cars and other similar small automobiles, such as pickup trucks, and finds solutions that optimize travel time. Travel obeys one-way roads, avoids illegal turns, and follows other rules that are specific to cars. When you specify a start time, dynamic travel speeds based on traffic are used where it is available.

Avoid Carpool Roads; Avoid Express Lanes; Avoid Gates; Avoid Private Roads; Avoid Unpaved Roads; Driving an Automobile; Roads Under Construction Prohibited; Through Traffic Prohibited; Vehicle Maximum Speed (km/h): TravelTime 0

Walking Time

Follows paths and roads that allow pedestrian traffic and finds solutions that optimize travel time. The walking speed is set to 5 kilometers per hour.

Avoid Private Roads; Avoid Roads Unsuitable for Pedestrians; Preferred for Pedestrians; Walking Speed (km/h): WalkTime 5; Walking

Walking Distance

Follows paths and roads that allow pedestrian traffic and finds solutions that optimize travel distance.

ADDHEADERS

Create a header row only for the output of the ArcGIS for Excel GETADDRESS, GETCOORDINATES, ENRICHBYGEOGRAPHY, ENRICHBYPOINT, FINDROUTE, and FINDROUTEBYADDRESS functions.

Note:

This function requires only one parameter.

Note:

In all the function examples, the actual result of the functions excludes the header. Run the ADDHEADERS function to request the headers.

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionParameter required

ARCGIS_function

Input a cell reference to another ArcGIS for Excel function where you want to add headers.

Yes

Function example

=ARCGIS.ADDHEADERS(A2)

This example will work if you have another function in cell A2. For example, if cell A2 contains the =ARCGIS.GETCOORDINATES("380 New York Street, Redlands, CA, USA") function.

Latitude (Y)

Comma, decimal point, and semicolon separators

If you are using a German, Dutch, Spanish, French, or Italian-language operating system, numbers written in decimal form may be formatted differently than for those using English-language operating systems. For some languages, numbers containing decimals are written or separated using a comma (,) instead of a decimal point (.).

Depending on the decimal separator, functions in Excel should be formatted differently.

  • When a decimal point (.) separator is used, you must separate function parameter inputs using a comma (,), for example, =ARCGIS.GETADDRESS(-70.251, 43.65808).
  • When a comma (,) decimal separator is used, you must separate function parameter inputs using a semicolon (;), for example, =ARCGIS.GETADDRESS(-70,251; 43,65808).

In Excel, the default decimal separator is the same as that of your operating system. When using Excel, you can also customize this setting.
