Bloomberg Live Price/Value

[kszynkar]

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to get a single live value from Bloomberg. Currently, using "fetch" I would get the whole time series.

Unfortunately you have to fetch the entire series.

You could fetch the series, set the sample to 1 observation, and then create a series equal to the fetched series. This will create a series with one value

Code: Select all

fetch abc
smpl 1970 1970
series x = abc

Alternatively, you can create a scalar equal to the single value

Code: Select all

fetch abc
scalar y = @elem(abc,"1970")
