Export current price

I know its here somewhere but havent been able to find it.

How do you export the current chart price to a excel spreedsheet and have it update. Im using MS office 2007.

I have the Enable Server DDE box checked.

 

Ive done all this but excel 2007 just sits there and does nothing.

Is there something in excel I need to turn on that Ive missed.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

You need enable DDE Server in MT - Options > Server > Enable DDE Server

After open Excel and add for example:

=MT4|HIGH!EURUSD

=MT4|ASK!EURUSD

=MT4|BID!EURUSD

=MT4|LOW!EURUSD

Hello

DDE links are not automatically updated in Excel 2007

 

Thanks but none of those ideas worked either.

Very basic help with a script

I downloaded and then altered an indicator from these forums for extracting OCHL information to an excel spreadsheet. It is attached.

I would like to alter this script for a different purpose (I will still be using the first) but what I don't know, is how to change the name of the excel file that is created?

Many thanks,

Dave

Read about the 'FileOpen' in the mql help file. You can see where it's naming the file in the snippet above.

If FILE_READ does not combine with FILE_WRITE, the file will be opened only if it already exists. If the file does not exist, it can be created using the FILE_WRITE mode.

Hope that helps.
