I’m working with KML and have a macro that generates a KML from an Excel spreadsheet. Right now, I loop through constructing the xml for each placemark.
I’d like to be able to reference a folder id for each placemark instead of having to nest placemarks within the tags.
If I could just predefine the Folder element and reference it, that would save me some additional work with conditional statements in my macro.
The answer is No. It’s not supported by the specs
