The Worksheets team is responsible for one of Bloomberg's flagship products called Security Worksheet; A highly customizable grid, similar to a spreadsheet, that is integrated to the Bloomberg Terminal. The Security Worksheet can display a variety of financial information about any list of securities, in real-time. Our solution integrates seamlessly with many of the core features the Bloomberg Terminal provides. Users can import, export, and sync data with many other products on the terminal. This makes Worksheets a key element in the daily workflow of more than 225k clients.

The Worksheets application uses Javascript, Typescript and C++. We are strong believers in continuous integration and currently have more than 5000 tests helping us maintain a high  quality and stable product. We are invested in TypeScript to help take advantage of the type safety it provides.

We continuously aim to make Worksheets an integral part of our clients’ workflows. We collaborate closely with dozens of other teams in order to integrate better with the rest of the terminal and be the one place where clients can go to quickly answer all their questions. We regularly have more than 100 people, from various teams and departments across the firm, join our product updates to hear of our latest developments.

Given its versatility and the high amount of features it offers, we have also been working towards offering Worksheet as a visual grid component for other teams to use directly in their applications. “Worksheet as a Component”, as we call it, allows teams to quickly embed our grid into their applications and configure, with a simple JSON, a fully functional grid that understands market data and a custom list of securities. While we already have many teams who are eager to integrate with it, the development of this component is very much on in its early days. This means that there is still a lot of room to set the direction and technical design for it and, with your help, we could get there faster!

Vision:

Our team vision is to provide better integration with the Bloomberg terminal. So far, we have collaborated with more than 30 teams across the company in order to provide the best experience for clients. That includes teams in infrastructure, data providers and other application domains.

We are part of a frameworks organisation. All teams in this group have solutions that are meant to be used by other teams in order to achieve more. We align and promote our suite of solutions to be used together where applicable and to share our experience of being supportive towards other teams.
