Macro To Force Refresh Bloomberg Data
Feb 8, 2007I 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?
Bloomberg BDH Refresh Via Macro Loop Application.Ontime
Dec 10, 2009Firstly 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:
Macro To Loop Bloomberg Formula
Aug 21, 2014i 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.

On Error Resume Next
Sheet2.Range("B3:E65536").ClearContents

Loading Data From Bloomberg
Dec 3, 2008I 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.
Data Retrieved From Bloomberg
Jan 5, 2009refer 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.
Import Bloomberg Data
Aug 5, 2007If 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.

Macro To Refresh Pivots Also Resets Chart Data Label Fonts
Aug 20, 2013I have 6 pivot charts within a document. I use a macro associated with a button to refresh the tables and therefore the data displayed on the charts.
However, each time I refresh the data, the 'data label' font size also refreshes. What is particularly odd is that 5 of the charts are pie-graphs, of those 5 graphs, the font size only resets on 4 of them (with the data labels in a single chart staying at my desired font size).
I can manually put the font size back to that which I desire but I'd rather it just didn't change in the first place.
I've had a look to see if there's any noticeable differences between the 5 charts but there's nothing which I can find.
I'd be happy to run a bit of VBA to set the font size as I want it, if there isn't a better solution.
Pivot Refresh After ODBC Query Complete Refresh
Jan 4, 2008I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)
Excel VBA Pausing For Bloomberg?
Apr 30, 2014Trying 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).

Macro Refresh To Different Cells
Nov 27, 2008I've recently got into using excel for more complicated work but still have a less than basic knowledge as I'm attempting to teach myself through trial and error. What I'm currently working on is a simple macro that downloads data from a website (which I've done) but ideally I'd like to have this macro recreate the data roughly every 30 seconds/minute and also have this data recorded next to the existing data rather than on top of it. I realise that you can import data from the web using the standard tools and can set it to reset every 60 seconds but I don't think you can get it to reload the data next to it which is why I was considering a macro.

Apr 30, 2014I 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.

Macro To Refresh All Active Cells
Oct 24, 2006writing a macro that will refresh all the active cells in my "Master" worksheet.
Every month, I append data from one Excel worksheet to the end of my Master worksheet. I want all the cells in the Master worksheet to be formatted as text. However when I copy the cells, I get different formats, i.e. text, general, number, etc. Simply selecting the new data and applying the text format from the Format Cells popup, does not work. I know I need to "re-enter" all the data for the new format to take effect but I really don't want to F2-> Enter thousands of cells.

Excel 2013 :: Pivot Table Compare Current Data With Refresh Data And Format New Values?
Jun 18, 2014vba in excel 2013 pivot table that updates from an online CRM rows are a to h and it can be any number of rows. What I am trying to do is track progress. In column f values indicate probability for success 10 25 45 90, which can go up or down. The pivot table is refreshed to get the latest values from CRM. the update is handled by a connection to the crm not in the vba.
So far I been researching methods to conditionally format values that went up, down or remained the same since the last refresh with up down and across arrows. I have managed to piece together what I think should work but alas it is not. So I have come to you internet.
My code first clears any formatting and goes down the column avoiding null or empty cells, comparing the values in column f to values in column j.
I have 3 conditions greater than, less than or equal to, and would like add an icon for each based on the result of the comparison.
Finally when it finishes the column the code copies the current values in the pivot table column f to column j outside the pivot table which i hope to be able to hide once the cf works. The code is below

Automatically Refresh Picture Links With A Macro?
Mar 13, 2014I'm working on a dashboard that shows some market developments. One of the problems is that I'm using linked pictures and a combo box to choose the appropriate graph, but sometimes the picture link returns a blank. Apparently this is a bug that can be fixed by running a macro that refreshes the picture link. Unfortunately I'm a real beginner with this kind of stuff.

Automatically Run Macro After Pivot Table Refresh
Sep 29, 2007I have a Pivot Table feeding a chart that needs specific formatting
However, after a Pivot Table refresh, the chart loses any custom formatting and returns to the default formatting.
(I know I can create custom user-defined charts but I don't want to do that here)
What I would like to happen is for a (chart formatting) macro to automatically run after a pivot table refesh occurs. It should only occur on the one worksheet that contains the Pivot Table and associated chart and should run the macro after a refresh REGARDLESS of whether the data within the table was updated or not.
Refresh IE Object Values To New Page (VBS Excel Macro)
Feb 8, 2013My doubt it's at the final of the code when the condition If IE.Document.URL Like constantsValues.urlLoginData Then is true, it enter into a class an introduce the user and password from a login page AND then the page is REDIRECTED to another page SO when it goes out the IF CONDITION, the values that I had at the beginning in the IE Object are now DIFERENT because I'm now in a new page.
So that's why I put Application.Wait for 30 seconds, and then try to refresh the values of the IE object and get the new ones, but it always get the first values (the values of the login page :S) NO the new ones :S
How can I update the IE object to get the values of the actual page?

Dynamic Refresh Pivot Table Pagefields With Macro VBA
Jul 8, 2006A simple example of the problem: Imagine a pivot table has two pagefields at the top. The first list the gender ("boy" or "girl"). The second one below it lists people's names. How can it be programmed so that when the first (gender) filter is selected to "boy", pagefield 2 (the names) will only display the names of boys. So I would like the pagefield to work like regular multiple filters would. (And not list every possible item for all)
