Frequency selection Refinitiv Datastream Excel

mb3291

Hello,

I am using Refinitiv Datastream add-in on excel to obtain monthly data (for example: ROA) for a group of companies however when I select frequency as monthly, the data I obtain is the yearly data duplicated for each month. I am pretty sure that Refinitiv has the monthly data however I do not seem to be able to obtain it.

Thank you for your help

Case 12809048 is closed with the following resolution

Upon checking, Worldscope Datatype WC08326 only updates Annually. Even if we select monthly as a frequency, the data would only be padded as this Datatype only updates once, annually. Please find enclosed spreadsheet with sample download of data as requested for Daily, Monthly and Annual frequency.
