Importing GAL

[praetorian_prefect_2004]

Below is the code to extract the GAL into excel. The question I have
is how can I use this code to filter by country, i.e. "US". Thanks.

Surely, it dumps the data into an excel spreadsheet, so you then just use
Excel's built-in filter on the location column.

It dumps the entire GAL, which would exceed the limit in excel.

Thank you.

The limit is set to 2000 which is but a small portion of the GAL.
Instead of limiting it to 2000 entries, I would like to extract "US" as
the country.

Again, Thank you.

Hi PraetorianPrefect, Bob

The code will handle up to 65535 entries, ie a whole worksheet. It
handles 40,000 addresses or so for my company.

The 2000 reference in the code is a message for the code to dump the
variant array in 2000 record chunks.

As Bob suggested you can filter the records by location

Cheers
