I pull commodity prices from a Bloomberg terminal and send a pricing update email to a set group of contacts.
An example of one output is:
Iron Ore 62% Import Fine Ore: US$92.71, down from the prior closing price of US$93.61, up 31.4% YTD, and up 44.5% YoY.
Sourced via:
=C5&" US"&TEXT(D5,"$#,##0.00")&", "&E5&" from the prior closing price of "&"US"&TEXT(F5,"$#,##0.00")&", "&G5&TEXT(H5," #,##0.0%; (#,##0.0%)")&" YTD, and "&I5&TEXT(J5," #,##0.0%; (#,##0.0%)")&" YoY."
with referenced cells being Bloomberg pulls.
The code opens a pre-filled Outlook email. I am trying to export a formatted output.
In the example above, I want the "US$92.71" to export to the email as bold.
