Eikon Add-In for WPS Office.

Hello everyone,

I have installed WPS Office in my computer, and I'm having trouble using Eikon Add-In. I have installed other add-ins successfully in it, but I can't find the proper file to launch Eikon add-in and start using tools like Formula Builder.

The Eikon version I'm using is 4 (the latest). Can you tell me the name of the file that's being used to launch Eikon add-in in Excel, please?

Thanks for your time and help,

Aquiles

The launch library for Eikon Excel COM Add-in is EikonOfficeShim.dll.
Please note that Eikon Excel COM Add-in is only supported with Microsoft Office. You can try using it with WPS Office, but there's absolutely no guarantee it will work. In fact I personally would be surprised if it does.

Thank you very much Alex, I tried that already and couldn't make it work, unfortunately. And sorry for posting this here, I'll be more careful with the topics of questions and follow your advice next time :)

Take care!
