Bloomberg: BQL webinar
2019-11-29 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
This is a reminder that the last BQL webinar of the year for students will be run this Friday 11/29/19 1:00 PM UK time.
This is a free webinar and we invite all students that may need to use Bloomberg data in Excel to attend this webinar.
BQL is a new API based on normalized, curated, point-in-time data. Using BQL, you can perform custom calculations directly in the Bloomberg Cloud. Analyses that previously required you to download thousands of data points and perform complicated Microsoft® Excel manipulation now require only one formula. You just specify the data you want and the calculation you want to perform—including, but not limited to, arithmetic and statistical operations, filtering, grouping, scoring, and dates-based analysis—so you can synthesize large amounts of data and extract the exact information you need.
