The latitude & longitude must be in +/- values, not E/W/N/S and not in degrees/minutes/seconds or degrees/decimal minutes.

Inputs

data Type: datatable Required: Yes The datatable containing the latitude & longitude columns to be converted.

latitude column Type: text Required: No The name of the column containing latitude values (in decimal degrees). A plus sign (+) preceding the number denotes northern hemisphere, and a minus sign (-) denotes southern hemisphere. If unspecified, defaults to latitude.

longitude column Type: text Required: No The name of the column containing longitude values (in decimal degrees). A plus sign (+) denotes east longitude, and a minus sign (-) denotes west longitude. If unspecified, defaults to longitude.

location type Type: text Required: No The type of the geographic feature. Valid options are address, position, country code, country name, ISO-3166-1-alpha-2, ISO-3166-1-alpha-3, ISO-3166-2, postcode, state name, state code, county, city, or continent. If unspecified, defaults to country code.

location column Type: text Required: Yes The name of the column to contain the location type output.
