Need to use the Bloomberg plugin in Excel, and don’t see the tab? [Note that these instructions are only for the PCs in the Bloomberg lab.]
First, try this within Excel:
- Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Add-Ins category.
- In the Manage box at the bottom of the frame, select Excel Add-ins and then click Go.
- In the Add-Ins box, check the Bloomberg Excel Tools check box, and then click OK.
- Test the installation by restarting Excel.
If this does not work, try installing the Excel plugin through the previously-installed Bloomberg tools. Go to the Windows Start menu (window icon in bottom left), and open the Bloomberg folder. Click on ‘Install Office Add-ins’ and follow the instructions. You should see a message that all the plugins installed correctly, and then after you open Excel, you should now see the Bloomberg tab.
If you continue to have problems, contact Cheryl Cape at cheryl.cape@trincoll.edu with the number of the machine that does not have the Excel plugin installed.
