"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

jean -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Jul 24, 2004	Posted: Aug 29, 2004 05:27 PM Msg. 1 of 3 I would like to create some simple uses of the DDE link within Excel; namely to receive live data e.g. Time & Sales and to simultaneously see this data build real-time in an Excel Chart. Does anyone know how I can do this? Also, I would like to retrieve Historical data through a DDE link. Again any ideas? Thanks

Download the Sample IQFeed DDE with T&S.xls. It is based on a macro that isn't supported, and isn't very good. However, it may give you some ideas. At this time there isn't a way to pull historical data into Excel from the IQ servers using DDE. With a DTN.IQ subscription you can use the T&S app to export data into Excel though. A good place to visit is the XLTraders group on yahoo. These folks are high end Excel users who have written many apps with various datafeeds. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
