Excel Add-in Installation Instructions

The Bloomberg Excel Add-in can only be installed on the Bloomberg Terminal located in the Parrish Library.

  • Sign-in to the station with your Purdue credentials
  • Close Microsoft Teams if it automatically opens
  • Go to the Windows start menu > Bloomberg folder > Install Office Add-Ins
  • Follow the Bloomberg Excel Add-In installation prompts
  • If prompted to login to Office 365, use your Purdue credentials
  • Open Excel
  • Close and reopen Excel if you receive an error message
  • A Bloomberg tab should now be visible on the top ribbon

If these steps do not work, restart the computer and try again. If you still do not see the Excel Add-In after a second attempt, notify the iDesk attendant or email parrlib@purdue.edu.
