Barchart, a provider of market data, software and technology services to the commodity, media and financial sectors, has announced the release of its next-generation cmdtyView for Excel Add-In, bringing a modern, cross-platform solution to commodity traders, analysts and risk managers who depend on real-time data and custom analytics.

Barchart’s upgraded Microsoft® Excel® add-in is a powerful solution that allows users to stream live market data, physical commodity prices and global fundamental data directly into Excel on Windows, Mac and the web. It is a major upgrade from Barchart’s legacy RTD-based tool with modern Microsoft Office 365 integration, custom functions and easy deployment that makes advanced analysis in Excel faster and more accessible.

“Our new Excel add-in is a game changer for commodity professionals who demand power, flexibility and accessibility,” said Chris Harrison, CPO at Barchart. “Whether you’re at your desk or working remotely, this next-gen solution enables you to monitor real-time market movements and build complex models without being tied to one device or operating system.”

What’s new in cmdtyView for Excel:

• True Cross-Platform Access: The new cmdtyView for Excel runs seamlessly on Windows, macOS and Excel for the Web, giving you full flexibility to stream real-time market data from any device, anywhere.
• Modern Technology Framework: Built on Microsoft’s latest Office add-in APIs, the new solution delivers faster performance for large datasets, high-frequency data support, cloud-based deployment through the Office App Store and advanced custom functions that replace outdated RTD formulas.
• Portable and User-Centric: Your workspace now follows you. By tying the add-in to your Microsoft login, your access and settings stay consistent across all devices no matter where you are working.
• Smarter, Smoother User Experience: Discover data faster with an improved symbol browser, take advantage of tighter integration with Excel’s built-in tools and benefit from seamless compatibility with other Office 365 services for a more intuitive and productive workflow.

“This next-generation release reflects Barchart’s ongoing commitment to creating solutions that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate where the industry is going. We’re making Excel smarter, faster and more accessible for the global commodity community,” added Harrison.
