Google Spreadsheet API Developer - google-sheets

I am no longer trying "to embed Google Maps so when I click on it opens Google Maps with 100 meters radius." I understand "Google Maps is not a part of the core services.
I am now trying to use a Work Around without Google Maps and am now asking for help with the "Work Around"....
I want to be able to use the method from this YouTube video to create the Search option another Google support team rep(Vienna) referred me to. In the video he did a search for shoes, shirts and dresses to find his customers. I want to do a search by zip and/or city and state to find mine...."Google Sheets - Search, QUERY function"===https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSGKO5gx974
I need help with this part as well with the Google Sheets function list. Which Google Sheet function or a combination of functions will allow me to do the 150-200 meters radius search within the "Google Sheets"? I am not tech savvy and need help to determine which ones can be used. Here are some of the functions that appear to be able to be used from what I think FLATTEN, FREQUENCY, LINEST, MAP, MMULT MDETERM , SUMX2PY2, DAVERAGE, DCOUNTA, DSTDEV, DVAR, DELTA, FILTER, SORT, SORTN, UNIQUE, QUERY, ISFORMULA, CELL, ect.... ===https://support.google.com/docs/table/25273?hl=en#query=
The Viennes also sent a link. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/routes_preferred/support#:~:text=Before%20you%20call%2C%20make%20sure,1%2D877%2D355%2D5787
As I was looking over the page, I came across the link to theMarketplace.
I was wondering which one of those databases could be used in the function to accomadate what I am trying to accomplish. Is it the Zip Code Tabulation Area, Geolocation API, CARTO, Roads, API, Routes API. Maps JavaScriprt API, ect....
With those three things listed above, I am sure something can come close to doing a radius/range search in Google Sheets.
If any, at least by the City and/or State search.
I am in need of a Developer, can you suggest one?

Difference in results between google ad words API and keyword planner console

I’m trying to forecast the value of various keywords using the google Adwords API, using the traffic estimator service. So far, the clicks, costs per click, and other metrics returned through the API don’t come anywhere close to those retrieved through the Keyword Planner console. There are several adjustable forecast parameters in the console such as language, location, and search network, and I tried to match these parameters in the API.
I'm wondering if there is some other element that needs to be adjusted that I'm missing. For example, the console gives you the option to "select an ad group" for the forecast, and I'm not sure how this would be applied within the API.
If you're interested in obtaining the results that the KW planner provides in the Ads web UI, you'd need to use the TargetingIdeaService instead of the TrafficEstimatorService.
There's also a reference document with some pointers explaining how to map the web settings with the TargetingIdeaSelector values available in the API.
Note that in my experience, you'll sometimes still find discrepancies between what's shown in the web UI and the stats provided by the API. This is also a recurring theme in the Ads API forum (just search for "TargetingIdeaService Difference" or similar).

Create UI on top of google sheet

I have a google sheet with some data, say Roll Number and Name. Now I want to create UI for the google sheet with an text box name and have option search
When I enter name and click search, I should get all the records with that particular name.
How do I achieve this in google sheet? Any addons or scripts available?
Google Drive has a full featured API so you can consume its data from any application, in nearly any technology (Python, Javascript, PHP etc) using its Rest API.
I'm pretty sure no addons available from market to do it, so the solution would be to implement it yourself.

I need an API to plot waypoints and give me a route through them, and to give me city population. Which API should I use?

I'm making an iOS app that needs to be able to find the most populated cities within a radius from a certain point, and to calculate a route that passes through a certain number of those cities, that satisfy a certain time constraint. I'm planning to use Google to give me polylines that I can put directly on an Apple Map in the Mapkit for Xcode. I've looked into the Google Maps SDK for iOS, and Google Places. Google also has a Directions API, and a Distance Matrix API. With so many API's, I'm slightly confused about which one I should use, and for what.
Additionally, do Google API's provide city population, or should I find that via another database?
You can use Google Maps URL Scheme to get directions for Google Maps iOS.
If you are ever confused about which API to use for Google Maps, you can use API picker.
There is no Google API that give city population, so you would need to find it with a another database.

Google Maps API - Custom Markers

Is it possible to have specific markers based on a user's search with Google Maps API? For example, I'd like to be able to create unique markers for different food cuisine types: american, asian, european, and indian. If the user types in american for example, can I add a special marker for this and if so, how can I achieve this?
Google has a great API that details how to do what you need pretty well. The Google Places API has some examples of how to search for places. The Maps API has an example on how to add custom marker symbols. Once you get the data back from the query posted, you can parse it to get details on the restaurant and associate an icon with that restaurants position
I think you are looking for the iOS SDK (I just looked at your tags):

Google Autocomplete API for use with MKMapKit

The app that I am currently working on has to do this kind of features.
1.User input "Address" and then there will be autocomplete (suggestion for that address)
2. After user hits search button . The MKMapkit has to bring user to that 'Address' and zoom region to that
I can do the #1 by using Google Autocomplete API and using this module TRAutocompleteView
Now ,I'm trying to figure to do #2 feature. I thought I can use Address result from google API to convert into lat,long by CLPlacemark but I tested the concept with this module which use CLPlacemark to convert address string
SPGooglePlacesAutocomplete
I found out that 20-30% of the address string can't be convert using CLPlacemark .It happes to be "Location not found" .And that happens mostly when you search in foreign language (I tried Thai language "
Are any other option for me implement these 2 features ? My app will be like YELP which has to search some result within specific region . Or can I use another way to do the address suggestion beside Google Autocomplete API ?
Changing MapKit to Google Map SDK can be one of the solution.But I want that to be last choice because it might be expensive if I exceed the daily limit
Thanks in advance
Just as a FYI, it is against the Google Terms of Service to use the Google Places Autocomplete with a non Google Map.
This is an obvious side effect of getting an address from Google and then asking Apple's API to turn those addresses into coordinates. Google will give you an address based on the data it has and the formatting style it wants, these will not always directly translate into Apple's data and format. If you want it to be properly reliable you need to stick with one set of services, Google or Apple, or a third party. It might be expensive if you exceed the daily limit but wouldn't that mean you're selling lots of copies of your app and such is the cost of doing business.
