Platts Excel Add-In functions
We have built several generic Platts
Excel Add-in functions that may be
reused across datasets.

You may view the new functions by

clicking the “Fx” icon in the formula
bar, and then selecting the category
“Platts”—they are displayed at the
top of the list of functions.

PlattsDataSeries Returns details about a data series for a selected dataset

PlattsDataSet This will return the list of datasets available via Platts Excel Add-in. If a
dataset name is mentioned, then this function returns details about the
selected dataset.

PlattsGetData This function will return the data for the selected dataset and data series
based on given parameters.

PlattsGetMetadata This function will return the metadata for the selected dataset.

PlattsStreamData The function will stream data for the selected symbol or eWindow Market
Data, e.g., Stream Trade data for EWMD or Stream Prices for MD

PlattsToday This function will give today’s date, and it is a non-volatile version of excel
native Today(). This function will return today’s date.

Search Screens
The Search Screen provides querying ability ot PEA customers and allows the search result to be exported back to excel.
This allows customers to build their own templates by applying the filters.

On click of the Search icon, it will open the search

screen

Select the dataset to query the data from

Platts Market Data or eWindow Market Data (MOC
Information)

Now, Select the Dataseries( Type of data you want

to query)

For Platts Market Data we have three options

• Current-Symbol: Allows querying current prices for selected symbols

• History-Symbol: Allows querying historical Data by selecting the date and symbols

• Correction-Symbol: Allows query for corrections for selected symbols

For eWindow Market Data, the only option is TradeData. This will allows to search data for MOC.

Platts Market Data

After selecting the dataset and dataseries, below screen will be displayed. You can enter the Search term in this box to
return the list of symbols.

Click on Search icon or hit enter after entering search text.

< 18 >
After you hit enter, all the matching
symbols with entered search text
will be loaded on the screen. On the
left hand side we have filters, middle
grid with all the matching symbols
and right export button to export the
results to MS-Excel in current cell,
New Worksheet or New Workbook.

Select the Filters if you need to

further refine the search or you can
click on the column to do quick filter
like excel.

If you are looking at historical data

and need to select the date then Date
filter will be available on the top of

the Search Text to load the MOC
information related to it.

On the Left hand side we have filters

to refine the search, in the middle grid
with the results and right Export to
