Excel VBA Pausing For Bloomberg?
Apr 30, 2014
Trying to create a macro where it will begin by inserting today's date into a cell, then pause for roughly 35 seconds while the massive correlation matrix pulls all the correlations of the portfolio in, then takes an output value that is generated in the workbook from the filled correlation matrix (correlation coefficient) and copy's and pastes it in a different cell. Then it repeats this process again using "Today's date - 1" (yesterday's date), waiting 35 seconds again and taking the new output value and copy and pasting it below the previous one.
I know I am not close but here is what I have for code thus far (which does not work properly).

I have an excel workbook right now with a 75x75 correlation matrix. It has 75 stock prices and uses bloomberg to pull in the correlation between each of the holdings. There is a lot of data so it takes roughly 35 seconds for it all to get pulled in from bloomberg. The input value that I can change is the date. The output value is a specific correlation coefficient. Thus, if I input today's date into a cell in the file, it will run the correlation matrix and tell me the correlation between all the holdings using the past year's data. Then it will produce a single output value.
I am now looking to use VBA to make this more robust. What I have been trying to do is have a macro which will -
(1) input the current date into the input cell
(2) have the code wait 35 seconds (and since it is using bloomberg pull in the traditional wait methods do not work because they actually stop the data pull in also)
(3) copy the output value
(4) paste special that value in a different cell
(5) repeat the process but this time use the date from a day before and have the output value copied and pasted to a cell below the previous one.
This loop would continue over 20 times.
Below I have some code that allows me to do this process once but is not looped and I have been stuck trying to make this work with a loop given the bloomberg delay. When I add a loop, it does not wait the 35 seconds I need before doing the whole process again.

I have made 2 macros that run one after the other to perform a certan task. My issue is that I want to run Variants that I have defined in Macro1 In Macro2 but I dont know how to reference them macro 2, or if there in the same module do they recognize the varients anyway??.
I'll list the variants defined below; could someone provide me with the proper code to reference the variants form macro1 in macro2. I am also wondering if it would be easier to combine both macros under one macro and simply put a pause in the macro between both section and have a certain command to resume once the user decides to( so it would have to be a user command such as a button). If you think this would be easier could you please provide the code to pause the macro until A button is hit. both these methods woud be useful to me elsewhere as well so if it's not to much to ask could you provide both methods.

1) open at a specific time each day,
2) grabs some information from Bloomberg (updating takes about 15-20 seconds after opening the workbook)
3) and then run a macro after the updating is finished.
Right now I've:
1) created a batch file to open the file
2) set Windows Scheduled Tasks to run that batch file at 4:15pm
3) Created a workbook open event that calls my macro if the workbook is opened between 4:14pm and 4:17pm
What I'm looking for is the best way to pause before running my macro until the workbook has been open for say 30 seconds. I have read through a lot of threads asking this question, but the threads have not been marked solved, and it seems that a lot of the proposed solutions have the problem of pausing all activity in the sheet, so the information from Bloomberg doesn't update while the macro is paused.

I have written a For loop that uses a shell command to call a batch file that replaces text in some text file, Mytrail.txt. I then use that altered text file and use it to run a 3D modeling program Pro/Engineer by calling it through another shell command. I would like to add pause instructions to my routine after the shell commands. Below is a snippet of the code I am working with:
For i = 1 To N Step 1
Shell ("Reblacer.bat Mytrail.txt string_A string_B)
'Here I would like to add code that will pause the routine until the batch file 'operation is complete.
Shell "C:Program FilesproeWildfire 3.0inproe.exe Mytrail.txt", vbNormalFocus
'Here I would like to add another pause instruction until the above shell 'command is complete. Note that this shell command creates a new file in 'some directory whose name is actually string_A.prt. Could this be used to 'tell visual basic that it may recontinue executing the routine.
Next i
End Sub
How to add pauses to the routine above that prompt visual basic to continue executing the code only after the shell commands have completed their tasks?

I hope there's someone who's familiar with Bloomberg in this forum.
My problem is, I have a template which conducts checks with data extracted a Bloomberg Terminal. I want to ensure that all data has FULLY loaded before I execute the checks.
So is there a way to detect if data is still loading?
Like for example, I need data to load from A1:A100, but data has only populated until A50. In this case I need to know that the other 50 cells are still populating.

refer to the picture:
Column H and column X contain dates. If column H = column X, "OK" will be shown. Otherwise "CHECK" would be shown.
The dates are the same, but the problem is, Excel reads column X differently from column H.
I've tried converting both columns to ddmmyyyy and then comparing them, but it doesn't work.
For i = 2 To range("A" & rows.count).end(xlup).row
If Format(Cells(i, 24), "ddmmyyyy") = Format(Cells(i, 8), "ddmmyyyy") Then
Cells(i, 36) = "OK"
Else
Cells(i, 36) = "CHECK"
End If
Next
Is there a foolproof way of doing it?
Column X is data retrieved from Bloomberg, so the format cannot be changed directly.

If it is actually not possible to change the way that bloomberg exports the information to excel then i think there might be two potential ways around it...neither of which i am sure how to do...
1) write some sort of macro which takes data from the new workbook, pastes it into the active workbook then closes the newly created workbook. Potential problem here is that whenever it creates a new workbook it has a slightly different name. eg. "abc1" then "abc2" etc.
2) Write some sort of macro which gets a list of companies from bloomberg with upcoming events over the next week, put this into the active workbook and then simply use the bloomberg get functions to fill out the info.

i have the following macro that loops through 100 tickers in sheet 1, gets the trades for each, pushes each ticker's trades to sheet 2 to create a list of all trades. The problem is that I just get a #N/A requesting data for each ticker. This seems to be a wider problem with fetching external data from Bloomberg. However, I cannot seem to get a fix for it.
Sub Macro()
On Error Resume Next
Sheet2.Range("B3:E65536").ClearContents

I have a workbook that pulls in index data from Bloomberg, most data is updated realtime, but one index we track is only updated late at night. I want to write a macro that will refresh all of the data in the worksheet and then save a snapshot of the workbook. I have all the code for saving the snapshot, but getting the data for the one index to refresh is proving difficult. None of the standard ways I know to refresh external data (both Excel commands via tools menu, and Bloomberg specific refresh commands) seem to work on these cells. The only way so far I've found to get these cells to pull in current data is to delete them and rewrite the formulas.
suggestion for a Macro that would force a refresh of this data?

Firstly you don't need to know anything about Bloomberg to answer this query, only that Bloomberg has various functions that take time to update.
The code Application.Run "RefreshEntireWorkbook" will update these functions but Application.OnTime (Now + TimeValue("00:00:25")), "RunList" is required to allow them time to get the data from the feed. However this only works if the refresh and wait commands are in a seperate function. So in simplified terms it must go like this in vba:

I have some daily text files in a folder (so about 30 of them each month), which in the end of month, I need to open them up in excel, format them so that I can use the information for my analysis.
I would like to create a macro, to quickly open them all up at once and save them each individually in .xls or .xlsm format.
I am new to VBA and after some research online, I was able to have the files open with the following code. but now I don't know how to proceed further to save them one by one with the same name but in .xls or .xlsm format.
Sub Opentxtfiles()
Dim MyFolder As String
Dim myfile As String

Recorded macro. The hope is to insert a excel formatted table a set number of times. I have found a loop code that references a Cell A1 and repeats that amount of times. So if A1= 10. There should be 10 tables inserted. However on the second time there is a fault with the table name. I need the name to change each time the loop is run. ie Table1, Table2, Table3 etc up until the loop stops (A1 contents).
I am using excel for windows 2010. The macro that i have so far is below.
Sub LoopTest()
Dim n
Dim V
Range("A1").Select
V = ActiveCell.Value

Using EXcel 2013, Windows 8
I have an Excel worksheet with one column being e-mail addresses. Other columns are Christian names, etc
Ideally can I create a full Mail merge with Outlook using whatever data I want. But probably just e-mail address and Christian name?
Otherwise be able to send one e-mail to all the e-mail addresses, without a major re-type.

I have an Excel 2003 file that contains hyperlinks to OneNote notebooks on a Sharepoint site. An Excel macro looks for these links and determines the full hyperlink address which is then assigned to a variable. An Outlook message is generated which includes the hyperlinks.
The hyperlinks work in the Excel file. I can also copy them from OneNote and manually paste them into an Outlook message and they work. However, when I obtain their full address and transfer that to the email through code, the links do not work. The hyperlink address from OneNote starts with "onenote:http" which is not recognized as a link.
If I can do this manually, there must be a way to do this with vba. Are there characters I need to include in the OneNote hyperlink address to make this work? Is there another way to transfer the working link from Excel to Outlook?

Is there any macro that can be used to convert data which have been converted from PDF to Excel. Currently I'm using a traditional way by pressing F2 and enter to convert the data to excel format. It's tedious ( since the data range is quite big) and crammed my finger.

I have defined a name for a data range in an excel file. Now I want to use the same name in different excel file. I tried through various sources but not sure how to do that. Current Soln: I am copying the data from the source file and re-defining the names for the range. But this seems to be duplicate and creates unnecessary space.

see attached excel sheet. On Colum G (highlighted in green) there are hours and minutes. Is there a way I can create a function or macro so that it will convert the values to minutes. For example if the value 1:48 it will convert it 108 minutes or 0:36 will be 36 minutes.
I know I can use =Hour() or =MINUTES() formula but this is long way. My sheet has over 10k data.
