Thomson One Banker or Datastream for FTSE100 returns

The databases Thomson One Banker and Datastream are both supplied by Thomson Reuters. A significant amount of data is available through either database:

• Financial market data on active companies and some indices
• Worldscope company accounts data
• IBES summary analysts forecasts data

This ReturnDailyFTSE100.xlsm  (Excel 2007 via Dropbox) spreadsheet shows getting daily return data for the FTSE 100 using both the Datastream and Thomson One Banker Excel add-ins. The Datastream tab will only work on a PC with Datastream and its Excel add-in installed. The Thomson One Banker tab requires its Excel add-in to be installed.
