We are looking for programming help IB-Excel.

We have a number of projects like download historical ATM prices and implied Vol, dividend related option data etc.

Is there anyone out there who can help?

Kind regards

There are a few options to do what you want to do :

1. create an excel plug-in, this means you create functionality that would be available
to any workbook that you open
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668205.aspx

2. create VB script that calls the data, that code is then specifically part of you current
workbook, it is a macro that you activate and that goes and gets the data

3. You can use DDE (dynamic data exchange to talk to IB TWS)

Each of the solutions have their pro's and con's

Good luck

I think you should explore this link.

They have a spreadsheet built to communicate via DDE with TWS.

It explains how to download and setup. See if this starts to meet your needs or if you need advanced programming.
