The Bloomberg Excel Add-in is a powerful tool that allows you to import data directly into spreadsheets.  

Bloomberg is located on a computer in the Business/SPEA Information Commons.  Log-in to Bloomberg and then open Excel.  You should

see Bloomberg as an option on the top menu bar.  If it is not there, close Excel and click on the desktop icon:  "Install Excel Add-in".   After installation

(will only take a moment), start Excel again and you should now see Bloomberg as an option on the top menu bar.  Use the provided

Wizards and functions to import data.

For help using the Excel Add-in,  click on the Start menu, All Programs, hover over Bloomberg, and a list of options will appear,

including a link to a help document.
