Dear R Folks, I know that Enrique Bengoechea ( Credit Suisse ) had posted some code snippets for importing Bloomberg historical data into R. I found them to be very useful. Has anyone succeeded in getting the below items from Bloomberg to R? (a) historical economic release data, (b) tick/intra-day data (c) bulk data such as Index membership info, etc. If someone is willing to share their code

...but I couldn't find any solution online. Thus, here is my problem: I would like to adjust the y-axis range in a barplot, since all my values are >70. Therefore I would like to only visualize the y-axis from 60-100 (example 1). The problem is, the range of the y-axis is adjusted, but the barsize stays the same and vanishes from the plot area. How can I "cut" the y-axis and the bars in a proper way. Unfortunatlely I dit not get "gap.barplot" function to work on the matrix in example 1. I would be very greatful for some ideas and help, cheers, Benedikt example 1: dat...

Hello I'm working with a bunch of time series data. The data are downloaded from a server and stored as ascii files prior to reading them into R. After reading the data sets read into R with no problem and I can us the ts function to coerce them to time series, sometimes this works and sometimes it fails. For example. P38_SubB <-
