Datastream - Eikon interface

Guide for new users

The Datastream application is accessible through the Software Centre and the Web. It is also available in the UC School of Business Trading Room.

If you don't need close integration with Excel, you can connect through the web - see below for notes on how to login.

However, if you want to use Excel closely with Datastream you will need to use a PC with Eikon-Datastream installed. There are several steps to enabling the Excel plug-in - once enabled, you can work directly through Excel. Instructions for setting this up are available in this document.

Please log-off when finished as the login is shared, and limited to one user at a time. You can do this by clicking on the button at top-left, then clicking 'close' (web version) or clicking the arrow to the right of ' close' and then 'shutdown' (installed version).

To log-in:
In both cases (web or installed software) you will need to login - login details are available on this page under Eikon-Datastream.
