Larry,
I'm guessing the issue is the starting point.
The numbers will be different depending on from where the moving average
is calculated (started) which is dependent on the days loaded in MS. You
can see this for yourself by applying an EMA to a ticker, then note the
value for the most recent date when you have very few days loaded vs.
the value when you have many more days loaded.
I believe the numbers should match up, if they are fed exactly the same
data.
Try loading only the most recent 10 days in MS (those are the days on
which you're basing your Excel calculation) and see if the numbers match
up then.
