Have you timed both solutions? Are you asking us to do you analysis/debugging? It should be easy enough for you to setup a test case and try it. That is what I would have to do to answer your question and I don't use bloomberg. On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 2:56 PM, anna lippelann...@hotmail.com

[R] Retrieving data through bbg or excel, what is faster?

2010-01-20 Thread anna
Hello, I need to retrieve datas from bloomberg. I want to retrieve those datas in the fastest way as possible. I have two options: writing the datas from bbg to excel and reading from r the excel sheet or directly read the datas from from r with a Rbbg connection. Which connection is faster?
