Template Example:

For example, suppose you are looking for a template for detailed financial information by each company.  Click on Equity, and now notice that they have other categories as well.  Let’s look at the Fundamentals and left-click on the “+” in front of this category.  Look for the template “Bloomberg Company In-depth Analysis,” put the cursor on this template and click on “Open.”  It will import this template into your spreadsheet.

Now, if you type in the Company Ticker in this template in cell E5, it will bring in all the data for your company, compute the ratios, redo the graphs, and help you with the analysis.  Notice that there are tabs for Overview, Peers, Indices, Financials, Ratings, Brokers Earnings Estimates, Valuation, and Owners.  Not bad for a few minutes work.
