Important Notice – DataStream AFO add-in

beckdj — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:16:32 +0000

DataStream is a powerful financial database, which can be used at 3 dedicated PCs on the ground floor at Central Library.

A recent change to this database means that users now need to install DataStream’s AFO add-in themselves, in order to make use of DataStream’s functionality within Microsoft Excel.
To do this, look for an icon on your desktop when using DataStream, labelled “Set up DataStream Excel add-in”. Simply click the icon to set up the add-in.
You only need to do this once, the AFO add-in will then appear within Excel each time you use DataStream.
