Default How to update an external excel sheet

The situation is this:

*All the computers have Windows XP.
*All this is working under a net.
*In computer A: I have a bloomberg terminal.
*In computer A: I have an excel sheet open linked to bloomberg that
automatically updates the information.
*In computer B: I have an excel sheet and I want that everything
updates in this computer too.

Any help?

Thanks.

Hi,

You could link both workbooks to bloomberg, or link the workbook on computer
B to the workbook on computer A.

Cheers

Default How to update an external excel sheet

The problem is that Bloomberg only allows updates in the same computer.
So my idea is to link the excel sheets, right now I can not link the
excel sheet in computer B to A with a refresh.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

You'll need to provide more information on how you're trying to link the two
workbooks, and what's not working.

Default How to update an external excel sheet

Ok here we go:

I have in bloomberg an excel sheet running with live prices.

I create other excel sheet in my computer linked to this file.

When I run for the first time in my computer the prices refresh only
one time, but I need to find a way to make my excel sheet to go to the
bloomberg excel sheet and update the prices. Something like a refresh.

Is this more clear?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

You could probably use a timer driven macro to the 'B' workbook to refresh
the links periodically, but you might have to add a similar one to the 'A'
workbook to make it save periodically also - I'm not sure whether the link
would pick up unsaved data in this situation. Experiment and see.

Cheers

Default How to update an external excel sheet

Hi,

On PC 'A', you'd use code like:

Sub UpdateData()
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("0:01:00"), "UpdateData"
End Sub

On PC 'B', you'd use code like:

Sub RefreshLinks()
ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("0:01:00"), "RefreshLinks"
End Sub

For PC 'A', the code forces a save every minute. For PC 'B', the code forces
a link refresh every minute.

As coded, you have to deliberately set each macro running. You could set
them running via an Auto_Open macro calling the relevant module in each
workbook. For PC 'A', that might not be desirable, since it means you won't
be able to make experimental changes without the risk of them being saved
and having no way of going back. You could add more code for suspending
either module, but the above should get you started.

Cheers
