TT Excel integration establishes communications between the TT Trade application and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and consists of the following:

• Excel linking, which lets you use the results of your spreadsheet calculations in TT widgets.
• Excel RTD, which lets you display live data from TT (market data, position, etc.).

Note: TT supports a maximum size of 100 columns and 5000 rows (starting in cell A1) when copying or pasting cells from Excel into TT.

Excel integration with TT requirements

Excel integration is currently supported on Windows systems with the following software:

• Microsoft Windows 10, or higher
• Microsoft Excel 2010, or higher, running locally
• Microsoft .NET 4.6 framework
  Note: Installing the TTExcelIntegration add-in will automatically install .NET 4.6, if necessary
