Bring your own data

import HeadTitle from '@site/src/components/General/HeadTitle.tsx';

OpenBB Add-In for Excel allows you to access your data connectors from OpenBB Terminal Pro inside Microsoft Excel. This can be done using the OBB.BYOD function.

To access data from a single widget use:

=OBB.BYOD("widget_name")

To access data from your own backend use:

=OBB.BYOD("widget_name","backend_name")

If your backend supports it is possible to pass a symbol, date or other optional parameters:

=OBB.BYOD("widget_name","backend_name","my_symbol","my_date",{"param1":"value1","param2":"value2", ...})

:::tip The easiest way to pass optional parameters is to write them into cells and reference them in the function. For example, =OBB.BYOD(...,A1:B2) where A1 contains "param1", B1 "value1", A2 "param2", B2 "value2" and so on. :::

Additional notes

  • Make sure your backend's CORS settings allow requests coming from https://excel.openbb.co.
  • Requests via HTTP will be blocked by Excel. So if you are using the Add-in for Excel on Mac or Office on the web with Safari browser you need to run your backend via HTTPS.
