July 22, 2025 | DiffusionData
In financial analysis and business intelligence, users expect live data streams, whether it’s market prices, operational metrics, or real-time KPIs. Traditional data imports and manual refreshes cannot keep up with today’s fast-moving business environment. The Diffusion add-in for Excel brings the power of streaming data integration directly to your spreadsheets, giving analysts real-time insights without leaving their familiar Excel environment.
Stream data in for live analysis, stream calculations back to end point via Diffusion, and transform static spreadsheets into dynamic, connected data workstations. With DiffusionData, Excel isn’t just a spreadsheet – it’s a live window into your business.
Key Benefits
- Live Data Without the Wait: Stream real-time updates directly into your spreadsheets. No more manual refreshes or stale data-your Excel models stay current with live market feeds, operational metrics, and business data as it happens.
