Hi Varun,

could you attach qvw's log file ?

Maybe From request is incorrect, some special characters not url encoded.

Regards,

Ely

Hi Varun,

I confirm that is url encoding issue about your URL parameter address.

Base URL is ok

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?sensor=false&address=

Before to pass adress to url you need to encode his QlikView variable address.

Define in Macro Module JScript language and define

function __JS_encodeURI (uri){
    return encodeURI(uri);
};

function __JS_encodeURIComponent (uri){
    return encodeURIComponent(uri)
};

into QlikView Script you can call your function replacing replace instruction

//-- COMMENT --let address = Replace('$(address_tmp)', '°', '');
let adress = __JS_encodeURIComponent(address_tmp);
