Access Procedure
The login procedure for Datastream is quite simple – but may require some patience.
If you click on the Thomson Reuters icon on the screen, a new screen will open – now with two Thomson Reuters Eikon icons.
One of them – Thomson Reuters Eikon Microsoft Excel – opens Excel, where you can access a Thomson Reuters Eikon add-in and a Thomson Datastream add-in.
To open the Datastream add-in, first you must Sign In in the Thomson Eikon add-in.
