Hello,
I read (somewhere) that it isn't possible to embed a reference to a
specific excel cell in a DDE link. I'm attempting to replace the
following:
=JavaDdeServer|IBM!LAST_PRICE
with
=JavaDdeServer|$A1!LAST_PRICE
where the value of cell A1 would be IBM (or whatever ticker symbol
resided in cell A1). I thought about writing a VBA macro which would
accept two parameters (TOPIC and ITEM), but I'm not sure what to do
next? Could I generate the DDE function call by just concatenating
the Topic and Item to the "=JavaDdeServer|" function? If so, how
would I return the value?
Any example would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for any
help you can provide.
