### Using the underlying dynamic data class "Quandl" QuantConnect take care of the data
### importing and definition for you. Simply point QuantConnect to the Quandl Short Code.
### The Quandl object has properties which match the spreadsheet headers.
### If you have multiple quandl streams look at data.Symbol to distinguish them.
