Examples

If you want to see a fully working Dynamic Data Exchange spreadsheet, an example is provided with the program. It is called ShareScopeDDE.xls and the file can be found in the ShareScope Plus or ShareScope Pro folder on the hard drive of your computer, e.g. C:\Program Files\ShareScopePro. It is the spreadsheet shown on the previous page.

Before opening the spreadsheet make sure that ShareScope Plus or Pro is open and connected to the intraday feed. A dialog box will appear asking if you want to update all linked information - click on the Yes button. You will now see the spreadsheet figures changing as the prices change. The sheet contains the combined total of several indices, an example portfolio, and all available details for one sample share (HSBC plc).

Using the example spreadsheet will help you to understand the formula needed for the DDE link.

DDE Formulae

To create your own DDE spreadsheet, you will need to write a specific formula to extract each item of information required.

Select the cell you wish to add the data to, then type in the following formula to point your spreadsheet to ShareScope Plus or Pro:

=ShareScopeDDEEXCHANGE_EPIC!A_B (For A and B see page 46)

A few examples of the different exchange codes include:

FX

Foreign Exchange (Forex)

LSE

London Stock Exchange (listed equities)

NAS

NASDAQ Indices (US)

UKI

United Kingdom Indices (e.g. FTSE 100)

USI

American Indices (e.g. DJIA, S&P 500)

For a full list please see the on-screen Help.

For EPIC put in the code of the relevant company or index.

Then you will need to add the extra information for the type of data that you want to extract. You can do this using the table on page 46.
