Trading Economics Excel Add-Ins

The Trading Economics Excel add-ins connect Microsoft Excel to our API, giving you direct access to 300,000 economic indicators, exchange rates, stock market indexes, government bond yields, commodities, calendars, forecasts, and historical data.

This section is the starting point for both Excel experiences:
