CDXZipStream

 

Welcome to the CDXZipStream August 2013 Newsletter

 

We've added a new feature to the CDXClosestZip function:  the ability to find the second and third closest ZIP codes (in addition to the closest) when comparing a target to a ZIP code list.  We also review how to reinstall CDXZipStream on a new or refurbished computer.

 

These are the latest blog articles:

 

 

Find the Second and Third-Closest ZIPs with CDXClosestZip

 

CDXClosestZip is a CDXZipStream right-click function that identifies out of a list of ZIP codes the closest one to a target ZIP code.  Now you have the ability to find the second and third-closest ZIPs too.  This can be used to find the closest stores for customers, the closest medical facilities for patients, and for a myriad of other scenarios that support your business or organizational needs.  In each case the function can return either the ZIP code or its distance from the target ZIP.  And if you have our Canadian database, it works for Canadian postal codes as well.

 

To use CDXClosestZip, just right click on any cell in your worksheet, and input the target and the range of ZIP codes to be searched:

   CDXClosestZip

You also have the options of using a worksheet cell location for the target ZIP and a named range for the ZIP code list. Specify the output you need (first, second, or third-closest ZIP or its corresponding distance from the target) and click OK.  Once the formula is returned to the worksheet, you can then copy and paste it along a list of customer ZIP codes, for instance, to obtain data for a list of targets.  

 

CDXClosestZip is included in the CDXZipStream Lite, Basic, and Premium demographic versions.  This new functionality is free for those versions and can be obtained by updating to CDXZipStream version 11.2.4.  To do this just click on the "License Information and Software Updates" icon on the CDXZipStream toolbar, and click on Product Updates.  If you currently don't have any of these versions and need to upgrade your license to obtain this function, please log in to your CDX Technologies account and go to the "My Account" and "Product Management" areas to purchase an upgraded license.   

 

CDXZipStream Reinstallation

 

The number one question we receive from our clients is how to reinstall CDXZipStream on a new or refurbished computer.  Here's how it's done:

 

Download and install the CDXZipStream demo on the new computer. When installation is complete and Microsoft Excel opens, press the third button on the CDXZipStream toolbar named "Licenses and Software Updates". (If you are using Excel 2007 or 2010, the CDXZipStream toolbar is located under the "Add-Ins" menu.) Then press the "Buy Now" button followed by pressing "Generate KeyCode" and log into your account at CDXTech.com using the username and password you received with your original purchase. If you did not retain your original purchase information the username is usually your email address; you can also reset the password from the website.

 

A web page allowing you to generate a new keycode should appear with your new Computer ID automatically entered. This Computer ID is unique for each PC and your registration code is based on it. Then press "Next" to generate your new registration key.


Copy your new keycode from the box that appears and then press the "-" in the upper right corner and minimize your browser. Then paste the copied code into the "Keycode" section of the "CDXZipStream Purchase and Registration" box and press "OK". (This is the box where you pressed the "Generate Keycode" button.) CDXZipStream will now be fully activated on your computer.

 

Also:  Don't forget to install data files that support your CDXZipStream version, such as those required for demographic analysis or the Canadian postal code database.  You can access and download these by logging into our web site and selecting the Product Management area of your account.

Latest Data Updates

 

Canadian and U.S. data feeds were updated as of August 14.  There were 54 changes made to the U.S. database this month.  If you would like to update your database to reflect these changes, click on the "License Information and Software Updates" icon on the CDXZipStream toolbar, and select "Data Updates" to login to your account.

 

We hope you find the information here helpful for you and your organization.  Please contact us with your feedback and suggestions by replying to this email.
