Datastream For Office
The Datastream add-in function is included in Excel once LSEG Workspace for desktop has been installed.
DFO has been placed under the button Datastream Formula (Time Series and Static Request) while Request Table section and the DFO Charting remain apart (to the right of Datastream formula).
In case you do not display the Datastream Formula tab, the system has automatically activated the "Workspace Lite".
To fix the issue we suggest to un-install Refinitiv Workspace and, after re-installing launch the application and open the Refinitiv Workspace excel.
