Import Presto Mashup or Mashable Results
You can import results from Presto mashups or mashables into Excel worksheets to work with this information in your workbooks.
To import mashup or mashable results into an Excel worksheet
1. If needed, set connection information to the Presto Server for the mashable information source or mashup that you want to import. See Configuring the Connection to
Presto for instructions. 2. Move to the worksheet and cell that should be the upper-left corner where results should be imported.
Tip: | To prevent space or modification conflicts, it is a good practice to separate Presto mashup or mashable data into a different worksheet from the calculations, charts or other data you are working with in a workbook. If you import data from several mashups or mashables, it is also best to import results side by side (into separate sets of columns ). |
3. Click 
Import Mashable/Mashup. The Import Mashable Wizard opens.
4. Click Next.
The Select Mashable and Operations screen displays a list of Presto mashups and mashables categorized by mashable type, such as Atom/RSS or Excel. You can also sort this list by tag categories, such as News or Finance.
Note: | The  icon indicates mashables or mashups that are inactive. You cannot import data from inactive mashables or mashups. |
