Universal DDE to Excel

Postby cael » 02 Apr 2007

I was just watching this video,

http://tssupport.com/addons/owndata/movies/excel.shtml

Quotemanager is set to reference demo.xls and rncn format is used as the symbol name. How do you reference a specific sheet?

Dear cael,

To reference a specific sheet in an Excel book you should use syntax as following:

Code: Select all

=EXCEL|'[YourBookName.xls]YourSheetName'!*

Thanks very much.

I am curious how the cell is addressed when no sheet is specifically addressed?

In this case the first sheet in a book is always used.

Hello,

I think did it like the video tut. described, but do not receive data.
I have only Bid Ask quotes.

Please have a look at my screenshots.
Thanks

Hello,
I now arranged the Cells in Excel like in the video tutorial, but no quotes in MC, only in Excel.
What can I try else?

Thanks

Hello,

Try filling out the fields in the DDE template using the following format:

=EXCEL|'[YourBookName.xls]YourSheetName'!*

Let me know if that works.

using the following format:
=EXCEL|'[YourBookName.xls]YourSheetName'!*
i use now (see screenshot):
=EXCEL|'[TWS_id20.xls]sheet2'!*

Is it necessary to receive the quotes in Excel over DDE, or can they also received over ActiveX? So, is it quite immaterial how Excel receives quotes in a cell?

Thanks

Hello,

Occasionally, there are cases when Universal DDE with Excel is quite unstable.

Unfortunately, at the moment our programmers do not have a solution that could help to solve your problem.

Regards.
