Data project - Fixed Income S&T

Hi Fellow Monkeys,

Recently started on a Fixed Income desk in a large bank and looking to aid senior members by building a relative value spread/pricing model in Excel - so they can see when certain bonds are cheap/expensive in relation to other similar bonds.

I believe this would add value to the desk as well as teach myself some valuable skills. I’m thinking of using the BBG API to pull data into Excel and go from there, but my knowledge of it is quite limited.

Does anyone have any experience with building models in excel via pulling Bloomberg data? And more generally, anyone have experience with risk weighted / relative value trades? Thanks!

I do some light data pulls to model financial statements, create charts, follow a paper FI portfolio. Nothing quanty, but enough that I have some experience.FLDS has definitely been a friend of mine. Assuming you know BDP/BDH syntax, can get anything you need into excel. Can also use formula builder in plugin, but I prefer just manually creating them.
