彭博数据进入 Power BI

Question

Have seen a few mentions on pulling Bloomberg pricing data into Power BI, with most referencing a REST API but I can't seem to find any good examples on how to implement. I have a Bloomberg license, but have been struggling on how to marry the two without pulling Bloomberg data into Excel and then referencing in Power BI. Anyone have any luck on this front?

I'd prefer to avoid the Excel route as I'd like to be able to choose dates, assets, etc in the Power BI report and then refresh dynamically rather than open Excel every time and then refresh the Power BI report.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm sure there's a way to load data via R with the Rblpapi library. Might try going down this route. I don't have a license so I'm unable to test.

There does not currently seem to be an easy way of doing this. I have been exploring using C#. I found this tutorial which provides a lot of detail on connecting to the Bloomberg API using C#, and this tutorial on pushing data into Power BI using C#. There might be a way by connecting the concepts in both tutorials. If anyone has any better ideas I would love to hear them.
