Telemet clients get stunning reports and charts that are presentation ready. The data is the latest realtime prices and financial information.

To access the pre-built reports: Open Telemet Orion, then from any Telemet Orion window click Display > Research > Excel Templates. Template instructions are on each template. A note for long-time Telemet clients - Telemet IQ is an enhancement on Telemet s previous Microsoft Excel Add-in, called MarketLink.

Snap Data / Start At The Snap Data box is a data refresh option that is ideal for very large spreadsheets that have thousands of cells needing data. If the Snap data box is selected the fields can update manually by using a Resume Updates / Stop Updates button. It is best to use the Snap Data check box if: 1) There are more than 1,000 Telemet IQ linked data cells and/or 2) The requested data items change infrequently (such as quarterly financial statement data items, company names, etc.) where a manual refresh once per quarter is sufficient. Use the Snap Data box to create a manual data refresh spreadsheet function. 12

13 A Snap data example: A cell Formula before selecting Snap Data is shown below: A cell Formula if Snap Data is selected is shown below: For manual data refresh press here. Note: The only data layout format available when using Snap Data is Symbol/Period Down, Field Across. Start At - the location where the fields appear in the spreadsheet Use Start At for the cell locations - where to put the data. Options Button Change settings for Telemet IQ including: quote data refresh rate & Telemet IQ formula format. 13

14 When the Options button is clicked the screen below opens. Quote Data: o Using DDE: Telemet IQ can paste Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) formulas (instead of RTD formulas) by checking the box Using DDE. This option is for legacy applications - those clients that have previously built macros and links using Telemet s previous Microsoft Excel link called MarketLink. MarketLink links (using DDE) are not as flexible as RTD links and do not have as many field options. Other o Ticker with Cell Reference: Paste a ticker or a cell reference within the Telemet IQ formula. The default is the box is checked. When checked, there is a cell reference within the Telemet IQ formula the cell contains a ticker and the data refers to the ticker in the cell. Changing the cell ticker, changes all the data on the spreadsheet that reference the cell. If the box is not checked, the data is fixed to a ticker inside each cell and no cell reference is available. Pasting Data onto the spreadsheet o Use an IF Error Formula function: If a Telemet IQ formula result shows an!value error this check box will change the!value result to show a blank cell instead. o Use the cells format that user defined before Paste TelemetOrion.RTDServer formulas. Once all selections are made, click the Paste button (on the bottom right corner of the screen) and the data will populate the spreadsheet. 14
