FUNCTIONS & SECURITIES

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //08
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

Functions are unique Bloomberg applications that provide analysis and information. Securities are the financial instruments you
can analyze.

ABOUT FUNCTIONS

There are two types of functions:

• Non-security functions: Provide information on an entire market sector or on news, and do not require a loaded security.
• Security-specific functions: Analyze a loaded security.

Each function has its own mnemonic (short name) used to identify and access the function. For example:
• WEI for World Equity Indices
• N for News

ACCESSING FUNCTIONS

To access a function, type the function name or a keyword in the command line. For example, start to type INFLATION:

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //09
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

As you type in the command line, Bloomberg's Autocomplete feature provides a list of suggested functions and securities. To
run a function, select its name from the list.

|Hint|To access a function directly, just type its mnemonic in the command line, then press <Go>. For example, to run the
News function, enter N <Go>. For overviews of Bloomberg functionality applicable to specific sectors of the financial markets,
see Market Sectors.

LOADING SECURITIES

To run a security-specific function, first you have to load a security:

1. Start typing the name of the company or financial instrument you want to analyze in the command line at the top of the
screen.
As you type, Autocomplete provides a list of suggested securities.

|Hint| The more information you enter, the more refined the list becomes. For example, if you know the type of security you
want, press the matching yellow market sector key to update the results.

2. Select the security you want to load.

The security loads, and a menu appears with a list of functions you can run to analyze your selected security.
Note: Once you load a security, you can run any number of functions to analyze that security. For example, once you load
T US Equity, you can run the Description function by enteringDES <Go>, then enterGP <Go> to run the Price Chart
function.

SCREEN INTERACTION
Bloomberg functions include common screen elements to let you know where and how you can interact with a screen to input
data or access additional functionality through mouse clicks and keyboard actions. Once you learn about these elements, you
can use any function.

The following topics explain how to interact with common screen elements.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //10
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

MENU BAR

The red bar at the top of each function includes the function's title at the right and provides drop-down lists and buttons to help
you perform key tasks. It may also include a page count indicator.

|Hint|If you prefer to type commands rather than use a mouse, you can use Number <Go>s to access toolbar drop-down list
options. For example, in the Events Calendar (EVTS) function, you can enter 97 <Go> to access a list of available actions. For
more information on using your keyboard to perform actions, see Number <Go>s.

AMBER FIELDS

Amber fields indicate areas on the screen that you can change. For example, they are used for editable form elements, text and
data input areas, and drop-down lists.

CLICKABLE NAVIGATION

When you move your mouse over a function screen, white outline boxes appear to indicate a clickable area. Clickable areas
allow you to interact with the screen to further your analysis. Depending on the data and the function, you can drill down to
find more details about a data point, launch another function to further your analysis, or to display a list of possible functions to
further your workflow.

• Drilling Down: Some functions allow you to click a heading, data point, or group of data points to access additional
details in the same function.

For example, in the Economic Calendars (ECO) function, you can click an Event to drill down to the release details.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //11
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

• Launching a related function: If there is a logical next step in analyzing data, Bloomberg provides click-through access
to launch another function.

For example, in the World Equity Indices (WEI) function, you can click the Value, Net Chg, or % Chg cell to further analyze
the index in the Intraday Market Map (IMAP) function.

Note: Since clicking any of the three consecutive columns launches the same function, all three cells are included in
one white outline. Often, the white outline appears for an individual cell because the cell provides a unique click-through
feature.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //12
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

• Accessing a list of related functions: If there are a series of functions that can help you with the next step in your
analysis, Bloomberg provides a list of related functions to further your workflow. If a row is numbered, you can click the
number at the start of the row to display a list of functions.

For example, in the World Equity Indices (WEI) function, you can click the 11) to display a list of functions you can use to
further analyze the Dow Jones index.

|Hint| If you prefer to type commands rather than use a mouse, you can also enter a Number <Go> to access the list of
available functions. In the above example, you could enter 11 <Go> to access a list of functions to further analyze the Dow
Jones Index, then enter 2 <Go> to access the Intraday Market Map (IMAP) function. For more information on using your
keyboard to perform actions, see Number <Go>s.
• Displaying a Bloomberg menu: If a function displays a security and there are many possible workflows and next steps
for analysis, Bloomberg allows you to load the security and display a Bloomberg menu of functions to analyze the security.

For example, in the Company Quote Montage (QM) function, you can click the row for any security to access a menu of
functions that can help you analyze that security.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //13
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

Note: To exit the menu and return to the original function, click the X at the top right of the menu, or press the <Cancel>
key on your keyboard. For information more on using Bloomberg menus, see Browsing Menus .

|Hint| If you prefer to type commands rather than use a mouse, you can also enter a Number <Go> to access a
Bloomberg menu. In the above example, you could enter 14 <Go> to access a menu of functions to help you analyze IBM
UN. For more information on using your keyboard to perform actions, see Number <Go>s.

NUMBER <GO>S

Number <Go>s allow you to quickly navigate any function using only your keyboard. Many clickable onscreen options are
labeled with a Number <Go>.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //14
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

To select an onscreen option with a Number <Go>, type the number in the command line, then press <Go>.

For example, in the World Equity Indices (WEI) function, enter 11 <Go> to access a list of functions that can further your
analysis of the Dow Jones index. To select any function from the list that appears, type the number to the left of the function in
the command line, then press <Go>.

Additionally, you could enter 95 <Go> to access settings for the function.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //15
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

Screen elements with a Number <Go> correspond to elements of the screen that can also be clicked with your mouse. For
more information on the logic behind clickable screen areas, see Clickable Navigation.

HIGHLIGHTING

Areas of a function screen may highlight when you move your mouse over them to indicate that the item is clickable.

There are two main reasons a section or item on a screen may highlight when you move your mouse over it:
• The highlight indicates the item has an active feature you can access by clicking it.

For example, in the Analyst Recommendations (ANR) function the Alert toolbar button highlights when you position your
mouse over to indicate that you can click it to create an alert related to your current analysis.

• A white outline highlight indicates that the item is interactive.

For example, in the Analyst Recommendations (ANR) function you can click the column heading to sort the data in the
table by that item.

EXCEL INTEGRATION
The Bloomberg add-in for Microsoft® Excel allows you to nourish your proprietary spreadsheet analyses with Bloomberg's
high quality and comprehensive data. You can use the suite of tools within the Bloomberg Excel add-in (sometimes called
Bloomberg API) to deliver current market data, historical data, reference data, and analytics to an Excel spreadsheet, allowing
you to maximize the efficiency, timeliness, and flexibility of your analysis.

All data you access via the Bloomberg add-in for Microsoft® Excel must remain on a Bloomberg workstation, in accordance
with the terms of the Bloomberg Data Feed Addendum. If you need to access or distribute Bloomberg data away from a
licensed Bloomberg workstation, please contact your Bloomberg account representative using the information on BREP
<Go>to learn about options such as Server API, Data License, and Bloomberg Enterprise Solutions (EPS).

For a comprehensive guide on the Bloomberg Excel Add-In, including details on using data wizards, constructing formulas, and
troubleshooting errors, see DAPI <Help>.

To view a training video on the Bloomberg Excel add-in, see API Essentials (27:35).

The following topics provide an overview of the features of the Bloomberg add-in for Excel:

ACCESSING THE BLOOMBERG ADD-IN

To download data using Bloomberg's Excel integration features you must be logged into the BLOOMBERG
PROFESSIONAL® service and have Microsoft® Excel installed on the workstation.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //24
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

Once you open Excel, click the Bloomberg tab to access the Bloomberg ribbon. Within the Bloomberg ribbon the various
add-in tools are grouped according to complexity with the basic tools at the left and more involved tools to the right.

If you do not see the Bloomberg tab in Excel, you can try to install the add-in by going to the Windows Start menu and
selecting Start > All Programs > Bloomberg > Install Excel Add-In. Follow the prompts, then close and reopen Excel. If
you are unable to install the add-in, you may need to consult your firm's Information Technology team regarding administration
rights to the computer.

Once the Bloomberg Excel add-in is installed, you can build your analysis by using a preformatted spreadsheets from
Bloomberg's template library, by following the step-by-step data wizards, by using the Field Search (FLDS) function, or by
writing the Bloomberg formulas in Excel yourself.
Note: All data you access via the Bloomberg add-in for Microsoft® Excel must remain on a Bloomberg workstation, in
accordance with the terms of the Bloomberg Data Feed Addendum.

BLOOMBERG TEMPLATES

The Bloomberg Template Library organizes over 350 popular spreadsheet analyses into a database you can easily browse by
category or search by keyword.

To access the template library select Template Library from the Bloomberg ribbon in Excel.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

Note: You can also access a version of the Template Library on a Bloomberg screen by entering XLTP <Go>.

IMPORT WIZARDS

Within the Bloomberg ribbon in Excel, the Real-Time/Historical, Financials/ Estimates, and Technical Analysis options allow
you follow a data wizard's step-by-step instructions to generate a spreadsheet with the data you need for one security or a list
of securities.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //26
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

The wizard prompts you to enter all of the required inputs that specify the data you want to import (security tickers, data fields,
data range, etc.) and provides flexibility in formatting the spreadsheet output.

Date printed: 05/01/2014 GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE //27
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GETTING STARTED WITH THE BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® SERVICE

FIELD SEARCH (FLDS)
