I have a problem with the DDE function in Excel 2013.

When I try to use =DDE(X, y, Z) the function does not appear in Excel.

I know that maybe it is a stupid question but after an hour I can't find anything I started to suspect that the function is not supported anymore.

Do you know if I have to install an additional addin or something or simply this function is not supported anymore by Excel?

UPDATE

There is not DDE Function in Excel but you can read from a DDE server with the following format

=Service|Topic!Item

That is the way to read from a DDE Server in Excel

Excel does not have a DDE() function and it never had. Microsoft will keep functions in Excel for backwards compatibility forever. If you have used such a function in the past it must have been part of a 3rd party add-in.

Access, however, does have a DDE function.

You don't explain what that function is supposed to be doing. It would help to know what you are trying to achieve.
