Microsoft
Integration

The Bloomberg Excel Add-in brings the power of the Bloomberg Professional service to Microsoft Excel, adding high-quality, real-time data and live charting tools to your proprietary spreadsheets and internal algorithms. The Excel Add-in allows you to run multiple scenarios simultaneously for multiple securities.

The Excel Add-in is installed when you become a Bloomberg Professional service customer, sending new tools to your Microsoft Office programs that enable you to export and customize our content. You can export data a la carte and build your own worksheets, or select from more than 300 unique templates in our Excel library. Sample templates include total-return calculators, financial statements, comparison sheets, cash-flow analysis, risk-adjusted return calculators, asset allocation optimizers and much more. You can also develop proprietary trading strategies and execute directly from Excel, using the Bloomberg FIX network.
