Hi there,
There is an option to define that external WEBSERVICE() API links are automatically updated upon opening CALC.
However, I cannot find any information identifying whether these links are also updated whenever the sheet automatically recalcs for new entries or when a manual recalc is forced with F9.
As a comparison, Google Sheets permits the setting of an “update frequency” parameter with their API calls. It may be that these are only available when calling Google proprietary APIs - I never checked as that wasn’t a significant aspect of my investigation.
Advice and further insights from anybody out there with more experience would be appreciated.
My sheet is only checking a single FOREX pair. Updating each time the sheet loads is perfectly adequate as the rate change is only likely to be frighteningly significant on a bad day in say 2008.
I perform some fairly well-defined tasks and exit/save the sheet rather than leaving it open in the background. Clearly, it updates as soon as I recommence processing.
Thanks in anticipation
