    MS data to Excel 2007 PROBLEM

    This is my first post so...
    HELLO EVERYBODY

    This is from MS help
    (...)
    2.    Right-click on the indicator plot and choose Copy from the shortcut menu.  Note that you could also copy the security's prices instead of the indicator (if desired).
    (...)
    6.    Choose the Paste Link radio button and choose Csv from the list.  Click OK.  Csv stands for "comma separated values."

    and here is the PROBLEM

    after "paste special" into excel data are not formated properly...
    CSV should format data but it comes like this
    2007-12-04,55.0000,55.9500,54.3500,55.0000,63244.0000

    Paste special as unicode text solve this problem i mean data are formated
    Date Open High Low Close Volume
    2007-11-21 51.4500 51.9500 51.0500 51.0500 242681.0000

    But.... 2nd problem.... data are not updating.... refreshing button/autoupdating,
    i tried all the ways...

    Copy/Paste  data from Excel to MS as indicator in new window (as csv) works for me
    When changing numbers in Excel the same happens in Metastock

    I can paste special and choose "paste link" (sry  i hope this is good translation  i can put screenshot)
    ....data from MS changing in Excel but it useless bc cant do anything with that
    CELL FROM EXCEL LOOK LIKE THIS
    =MetaStock.Chart|'C:\Documents and Settings\SOLARIS 10\Ustawienia lokalne\Temp\mwl11.tmp'!'\Agora»¶'

    so i cant separate the data


    i know that my eng is not to good but i hope you will help me with this coz i give up

    Re: MS data to Excel 2007 PROBLEM

     I have version 10 and Excel 2002 and it worked for me using both CSV and TXT, data
    formatted into separate columns. (Didn't know you could actually do this Cool [H]). with using
    paste special.
    A solution to the first problem might solve the second so I would work on that first.
