It's not possible to upload a spreadsheet to a service, as far as I
know.

It is possible to write macro code (assuming we're talking something
like Excel) which can take your addresses and use Google's geocoder to
look them up and then interpret the results.

If you do that, you may as well use the coordinates returned by
Google's geocoder.

Note: the geocoder is just that, it's not an address verification
service and the results returned for an incorrect address are
definitely not guaranteed to match what is actually intended, nor are
they guaranteed to conform to any address standard.

See the Terms http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html,
particularly 10.11 and 10.12. This may be classed as a bulk service,
and if you use any of Google's services you must display the results
on a public Google map.

I suspect there are better services for your purposes...
