Purpose
Data Point retrieves a single value for a specific symbol and data field at a specific point in time — displayed within a single spreadsheet cell. Think of it as capturing a single point on a chart — whether that's a historical value or a current snapshot.
Data Point supports both historical data (past values at a specific date/time) and current snapshot data (the latest available value for a data field). Any output from the Quote Table or Time Series features can also be retrieved as a single cell using Data Point.
Data Point enables information for:
| Index values going back in time | For example, 5 days ago, 10 minutes ago, etc… |
| Values from specific points of time | For example, on 11 April 2025 |
| Live data | Returns the current information for a specific available data field |
| Meta Data |
Data Point also supports cell referencing, concatenation strings, as well as all excel formulas and syntax.
