Hi R-Experts, I'm currently using R 2.4.0 in Windows XP. I'm trying to download data from Bloomberg using the package "RBloomberg", but it fails to install the three needed packages "zoo", "chron" and 'Rbloomberg". Moreover I am not able to find "RBloomberg" package as windows binary in CRAN site as only for MAC it's given. Please help me in this regard. And if anyone have faced version problem, please do let me know. Thanks in advance, Subha.
Never used it but if you look down the check list on Windows: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html for RBloomberg we see it has an error in attempting to access one of its dependent packages. See if building it yourself or going back to R 2.3.1 helps. On 11/16/06, Shubha Karanth <shubhakaranth at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi R-Experts, > > > > I'm currently using R 2.4.0 in Windows XP.

Thanks for your reply... Then...Is it not good to download bloomberg data from R? I also saw that the RBloomberg package has some error in the site "http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html" specified by you. Also, while downloading intraday data, even after specifying only trading days, R used to give all non-trading day's data also...thought it would not be updated...Is it reliable to go to R in downloading data from Bloomberg? I am worried... -----Original Message----- From: Gabor Grothendieck [mailto:ggrothendieck at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 8:15 PM To: Shubha Vishwanath Karanth Subject: Re: [R] <RBloomberg Package Problem> I guess the CRAN build process does not look for dependencies that are not on CRAN?

Yes...just now I tried it in my Bloomberg machine and yupp it is working... Thank you so much on this... But this works on any R version? Also, some times while downloading the data, with the code, I get warning message, NA's introduced due to Coersion...then I will not see the data downloaded...But if I go on trying with the same code 5 or 6 times I get the data...So why is this happening? With the same code once I get the data and another time I don't get the data...Is this RBloomberg completely updated? I also saw some error in intra day downloads...

I seem to get that error/warning "NA's introduced due to Coercion" when I ask for too much intraday data at once. There are limits to what can come back in one call, and probably the error checking/correcting needs help. Why not take a look at the R code and see if you have any ideas. It might be a COM "feature" though. Intraday Bloomberg data is not so easy even in C# because of limits on what bbcomm and deliver. David L.
