Python: How to get just the number out of a TR.Formula using Eikon API?

Hello everyone, I have the following short code in which I acquire local returns:

import eikon as ek #import Eikon module
ek.set_app_id('someID') #setting AppID
df = ek.get_data('B1FJ0C0','TR.TotalReturn', {'SDate': '2017-02-03'})

print(df)
print (df[0])

The outcome goes as follows:

What I desire is to acquire just the numeric value of the return, I don't want to know about the instrument or any other field/value, just the value of the Total Return.

Does anybody know how? I'd be happy to know.

Thanks!

Hi @aquilesjlp300,

To acquire just the numeric value of the return, you can do this:

First thing to note is that the call to get_data() returns a tuple containing the dataframe and error (if any).

Thanks a lot Nick. Is this a pandas dateframe, btw? The way the information is organized when I request information for a bigger list of identifiers does seem to give that appearance.

I'm getting AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'iloc'

If you have a question it's always best to start a new thread rather than posting an answer on an existing thread. I'm guessing, and this is only a guess, that what you did is something like

df = ek.get_data('TRI.N','TR.Revenue')
df.iloc[0],[1]

instead of correct

df, err = ek.get_data('TRI.N','TR.Revenue')
df.iloc[0],[1]

If this helps, great. If not, and you need further assistance, please start a new thread and provide detailed description of the issue you're experiencing.
