Installing the Bloomberg Excel Add-in
The Bloomberg Excel add-in is installed on a per-user basis, meaning it cannot be installed in bulk across multiple accounts. Fortunately, the installation process is straightforward and does not require administrator privileges.
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
1. Open the Start Menu and View All Applications
Click the Windows Start Menu.
At the top right, select “All” to display all installed applications
2. Locate Bloomberg Tools and Start the Add-in Installer
Scroll through the application list to find the Bloomberg folder.
Expand it and click on “Install Office Add-ins”.
3. Install the Add-in and Confirm Success
In the installation window, click “Install”.
A confirmation message will indicate successful installation into your user profile.
4. Verify Add-in Availability in Excel
Close the Bloomberg installer window.
Launch Microsoft Excel.
Verify that a new “Bloomberg” tab is present in the Excel ribbon.
Additional Notes
Troubleshooting Tip: If the Bloomberg tab does not appear, restart your computer or re-run the installer.
This process does not affect other users on the same device and must be repeated per individual user profile.
