Bloomberg (in Excel): Get security name from ISIN

Viewed 3571

In Excel, I have a list of ISINs for bonds. Now I want to find the ratings for them and use BDP. The problem is how do I get the security name (Bloomberg can work with) from the ISIN? I can do it manually with the spreadsheet builder, but there I have to do this for each individual security. Is it possible to automate this?

You don't need the Security Name to do your job. Simply place in an excel cell (example B1) this formula (assuming that in cell A1 you have a valid ISIN):

= A1 & " Corp"

and then use B1 to obtain your desired data from Bloomberg.
