QUESTION
I am new to Pyxll and Asyncio and having trouble get the following code going. I kept getting the initial value = 0 on the spreadsheet and it's not refreshing. Could you help and let me know what I did wrong? I followed the example from Pyxll's tutorial here: https://www.pyxll.com/docs/userguide/rtd.html#using-the-asyncio-event-loop
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-23 at 17:49I figured out with xbbg blp.bdp function which does similar thing. This is a good substitute if you have a massive bbg function pulling RT price. PyXLL allows you to input an array of tickers which saves a lot of time. I hope this could save someone some time :)
QUESTION
I am trying to extract data from Bloomberg. I need data for multiple fields with diferent currencies. I can't get what I need from this answer https://github.com/alpha-xone/xbbg
Can anyone help, please?. for a "specifc time" and on a "period of time"?
I tried the following code but it didn't work.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-29 at 21:10It is best to group similar securities together when pulling in historic data. In the OP's question, 'TPXDDVD Index' is a calculated total return index. Hence it will not have the same fields available as the other two, which as their tickers suggest are quoted funds.
Taking just the two quoted funds, SCTOGAA LN Equity and VAPEJSI ID Equity, we can determine the default currency in which each field is denominated. This being Bloomberg, naming conventions are organic and may not be obvious! The two value fields are FUND_NET_ASSET_VAL and FUND_TOTAL_ASSETS, and the default currency might be different for each.
We can use the bdp() function to pull back these currencies as follows (NB tickers are in a python list:
QUESTION
Is there a way to use the BQL-formula in Python in the BLPAPI or XBBG API's instead of looping through a bunch of tickers to retrieve data on i.e. all of the stocks of the S&P500 using a BDP or BDS formula? (This will quickly reach the data limit for the day, I suspect, since I want to check a bunch of different indicies).
I found a post from 2019, where BQNT was suggested, but I would prefere to avoid using BQNT, link here: How to implement BQL Bloomberg excel formula to python API (blpapi)?.
Thanks in advance!
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-01 at 13:14Further to the comments, I played around with a proof-of-concept for driving Excel from Python. This quick'n'dirty script opens Excel in the background, puts a BQL formula in a cell, polls for a return value, and fills a DataFrame:
QUESTION
I have the following Bloomberg BDS excel-formula: (";" is substituted with "," due to different settings in excel)
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-31 at 13:52You are specifying the parameters incorrectly. The function does not understand the CHAIN_POINTS_OVRD value, so is falling back to the default of 1, which is why the returned dataframe only has one value.
With xbbg you can usually supply Python types, with the override name becoming the parameter name (no quotes) in the bds call. So in this case the date override can be a datetime value, and the chain points override can be a number.
QUESTION
I need to get open, high, low, close, volume data from bloomberg api for commodities like CL1, S 1, C1...
Right now, I am doing
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-25 at 14:42Xbbg uses an 'exchange' purely as a method for working out the timezone and trading hours for calls to the underlying Bloomberg API (as the API only takes a start and end UTC date/time).
The reason that "CL1" works and "S 1" doesn't is that the former ticker is listed in the default xbbg assets.yml file. This file provides a lookup of common tickers to identify their trading hours / TZ. The 'exchanges' are listed in exch.yml.
The parameter name to use for tickers that are not in assets.yml to specify CME is 'ref':

ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-09 at 16:59Date overrides for Bloomberg needs to be this format: YYYYMMDD - change 2018-10-10 to 20181010 should be good.
While xbbg is flexible with date formats, Bloomberg itself does have certain constraints.

Install xbbg
You can use xbbg like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
