Can't geocode intersections

Question

Hi,

I have a file that includes intersections in a single field (ex: "Main St / Broad St"), but I can't geocode them for some reason.

I have created address locators of different styles (General-Single Field; US Address - One Range; etc) but each time I try to geocode, I get 0 correctly mapped addresses.

I have made sure in the address locators to include the "/" sign so that it will accept that separator.

The really strange thing is that I can add a single address in the geocoding tool bar or in the "Find" box and see it mapped, but it won't geocode from the excel file of intersections that I have.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution to this?  I am having a similar issue.  I can look up many of my intersections using the Find tool, but the geocoder won't pick any of them up.

Please log a support call and supply the analyst with your street data and your address table, it looks like we may need to tweak the locator grammar definition for your data.  Doing this will benefit other users with similar data.  Thanks very much.

I've now tried to create a locator with the General - Single Field format, but each time I try to create the locator, I get a "background processing" error.  Whatever that is.

Any thoughts?  Thanks.
