If you are comfortable writing VB script for your macro, you can very likely do what you want by coding against the AmiBroker automation object.

Basically all proposed solutions deal with how to extract data from other databases into AmiB. However, I look for the opposite. Having Amibroker running, I basically want to extract a time series for a specified ticker and start time - end time from the Amibroker Database into Excel or VBA (as array). I dont want to have to run an AFL or so. I simply want to run a macro in VBA which then communicates with Amibroker to extract the data and loads them directly into a specified array.

Here is what I try to achieve: I like to specify a ticker and barsize as well as number bars and dump those from Amibroker directly into Excel, no manual saving of data into text files and then re-opening those files in Excel. Why Excel? I use those timeseries to perform computations, calculations of custom indexes and I like to the flexibility in Excel to display the results and numbers in a speadsheet-like way for my trading. So, I basically look for a way to get historical intra-day data directly into Excel. I use IB as broker but dont like the ActiveX and DDE solutions they provide. I figured because AMIBROKER already has got the data in an efficient database that it should not be a problem to simply specify a subset and dump it into Excel (can Amibroker use OLE, meanin control Excel, such as opening a sheet, and then writing some data from the database into the sheet?).
