Using the Money.Net Ribbon

Once the plug-in has been properly installed, you can also access the real time and historical formulas directly instead of referencing the sheet that we have already made.

The simplest way to utilize the Money.Net Excel Add-in is to use the Money.Net Ribbon. This will help you to quickly get the data that you want into your spreadsheet with minimal formula editing. The Money.Net ribbon will appear at the top of the Excel sheet in the menu section that contains File, Home, etc. You can see what it looks like to the right.

To insert a Real Time, Historical, Economic Field, Commodity, News, or Tools formula, simply click on an empty cell in Excel. Then click on the appropriate button in the ribbon and navigate the menu structure to select your desired data point. Once the formula has been entered, you can modify the functions to your desired symbol, start and end dates, etc.

You can also see a quick explanation of the Money.Net Ribbon in the fourth worksheet of the sample document, titled Ribbon explanation.


Note

Note: If you do not see the ribbon after installing the add-in, please contact support@money.net.
