Power Plus Pro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Power Plus Pro is a piece of financial software produced by Reuters in the form of an addin for Microsoft Office Excel. It is a real time data engine which will push new data into Excel when it receives notification of these updates from a Reuters TIBCO bus. This is commonly live market data, such as stock prices, from a financial exchange. Information can also be contributed to the TIBCO bus from Excel using the addin, which is then available to other permissioned users using the addin on another computer or using Reuters Kobra 3000xtra stand alone software. It also has features which allow retireveal of historical market data.
A typical excel formula call is =RtGet("IDN_SELECTFEED","AAPL","LAST").
Competitors include VistaSource's RealTime for Excel (formerly Anyware RealTime), Gissing RealtimeXL and the addin associated with the Bloomberg Terminal (Bloomberg L.P.'s equivalent of Kobra 3000xtra).
It should be noted that RealTime for Excel and Gissing RealtimeXL provide the realtime data engine but will generally source data from Bloomberg, Reuters and/or another market data source.
