Google has now stopped its Earth API and Maps API is a paid for API nowadays. Some capabilities have also been either removed or changed.

Click on an infobox or use a quicklink
Here I selected a single marker, and it zoomed in to the level I specified in the ‘zoomlevelonselect’ parameter in my geocoding parameter sheet.

In this case, it will resize according to bounding box rules, if enabled by the “resizeboundingbox” parameter. This means that it will zoom to the maximum it can but still show all selected items. For Example, here I select the category “united states”. and it resizes to show the two places in US. To reset, just select all categories.
The Excel parameters
These are on the geocoding parameters sheet and look like this
