ESRI said I’m using a public account under the organizational account. Only the organizational can batch geocoding. Everyone can use the ArcGIS world geocoding service with a single query. My solution was to build a locator using the create locator tool. I used the centerline data from the county of Allegheny ( Pittsburgh).

Thank you for the quick response.

Members of the organization can utilize the credits allotted to them by the organization. Public accounts do not possess credits and hence cannot geocode, perform analysis or host feature layers.
- It may be not possible to state the truth, however, it is more than likely that students from other colleges and universities use organizational accounts. Using an organizational account enables them to work (share content) with the organization and collaborate with other organizations.
- We may assume that other schools use this hierarchical structure too, as Public accounts work in such a way by design.
If this is related to using a Custom Geocoding service in ArcGIS Online:
- You may create a custom geocoding service for batch geocoding in Enterprise as well.
- Or it may require setting up a utility in ArcGIS Enterprise to link the Custom Geocoding service prepared in ArcGIS Online.

How large is your table of records to geocode? I know you are unable to use batch geocoding because of your use of a public account, but that process does use credits and if it's a large table you can use up a lot of credits. Also if it's a process that needs to occur on a regular basis, you would use even more credits up, so creating your own address locator/geocode service would save you credits (money) there as well. I'm glad you were able to find data to be able to create your own locator.

ESRI's World geocode service is very good though.

Is your output feature class or shape file hosted?

Here is a screenshot of what the parameters looked like for an Excel table I created where I reformatted some of your data. I added the Street field to a field I called Address 1, City to a City field, State to a State field and Zip to a Zip Code field.

I had 3 addresses from my area in southeast PA plus 2 records from your data in Pittsburgh. I was able to successfully geocode all the addresses with the ArcGIS World Geocode Service in ArcMap.

hi Michael. Thank you for responding so quickly. This effing me up because I have ADD and can't let it go until I resolve this. Here is jpg snip, it's all text format if use multiple fields:

street, city, zip2, country

I've also made a calculated field called address. I've done it ways and it fails.

At first I saw a permissions issue, but my professor let me update my permissions. After the change to the permissions, then the geocode table error. Some other community members said it may be a utility issue (organizational configuration) so I have support ticket to find out about that.

Are you trying to genocide a table of addresses in PA?

Can you share a small sample of the data you are trying to geocode?
