1. Initialize the Geocode add-on wizard

To start using Geocode, open an existing Google Sheets with postal addresses in it.  Run Geocode before adding any keywords or filters. From your data sheet, select Add-ons > Geocode by Awesome Table > Start Geocoding.

2. Configure the address field

If the complete address is stored in just 1 column, choose the appropriate column name from the dropdown menu under Address column (image B). Otherwise, click Are your addresses in multiple columns? (image C).

The multiple columns window shows the column names on the left and checkboxes on the right. You simply need to check the boxes where your separate address fields are stored (image D). Then, click the Insert column button.

This will create a new column labeled Full Address right next to the country column - containing the concatenated values of the address fields you checked earlier (image E).
