<html><body><div>Hi everyone - I'm new to the forum and there is a lot of great stuff in here, I can see the previous posts will keep me busy for a long time. I discovered the Rblpapi package not too long ago and was wondering if there is a way to import multiple tickers rather than typing them in manually. I plan on importing dozens to hundreds of tickers at a time and entering them in manually one at a time is prohibitive for time purposes. I tried to import the tickers from a CSV file but I get an error message that says "expecting a string vector". My coding is light years behind the group so apologies in advance for a softball question but here is the code I'm using. When I type in imp all of the tickers show up in the R console but they will not work with the bloomberg data requests. </div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>imp <- read.csv("bloomberg.csv") <br>###attempt to import tickers from excel<br>bdp(imp, c("PX_LAST", "VOLUME"))</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jason</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></body></html>
