Apparently datafeed is currently a toolbox, which is sold separately. I don't know if it was a base function in an old release.

I do have the datafeed toolbox. I wonder how I bring up the GUI.

The only GUI I can see in the function list is havertool. I don't know if that is what you mean?

[ammatlab]

thanks but that is for access to haver analytics. I need to access Bloomberg. if you look at the page below, the third picture from top is what I am looking for. https://www.mathworks.com/products/datafeed/features.html#real-time%2C-current%2C-and-historical-data

[Rik]

A bit of looking suggested that the function might be dftool, which would make sense for a name. I don't have the toolbox myself, so I can't test it, nor can I find its doc page online. I can find plenty references to it though, also from someone using R2017a, so I don't think it is discontinued.

Did dftool work?

[ammatlab]

no that does not work. I have the toolbox and I am using 2018a.
