which includes information on programmatic controls for trends.
Specific references to FactoryTalk Historian DataLink for Excel XP-2003
are labeled (2003), and those specific to FactoryTalk Historian DataLink
for Excel 2007 are labeled (2007), when necessary.
FactoryTalk Historian DataLink Editions
Throughout this book, references to Microsoft Excel 2007 apply to Microsoft
Excel 2007 and later. References to Microsoft Office 2007 apply to Microsoft Office
2007 and later.
Two editions of FactoryTalk Historian DataLink are installed on your
system:
 An add-in is installed for Microsoft Excel 2007. This add-in cannot
run in earlier versions of Excel. This edition is configured
automatically if you have Excel 2007 on your system.
 An add-in is installed for Microsoft Excel XP or 2003. This add-in
resembles earlier versions of FactoryTalk Historian DataLink and
must be configured manually.
The differences between the add-ins reside primarily in design and user
interface (page 7) changes for Office 2007 and later.
