Hi @andy.ej

It looks that there is no timeseries data for field "TR.QuoteMarketCap" however you can use an alternative field "TR.CompanyMarketCap".

"TR.QuoteMarketCap" - The Quote Market Capitalization represents the market value based on the quote requested in the currency of Quote. Market Cap is calculated by multiplying Current Total Shares Outstanding by Latest Close Price for a Quote.

"TR.CompanyMarketCap" -The Company Market Capitalization represents the sum of market value for all relevant issue level share types. The issue level market value is calculated by multiplying the requested shares type by latest close price. This item supports Default, Free Float and Outstanding shares types. The default shares type is the most widely reported outstanding shares for a market and it is most commonly Issued, Outstanding, or Listed shares.

In order to explore possible fields and parameters it is recommended to use Eikon Excel where you can run a formula builder that will give you possibilities of customizing your output. Please check as well this tutorial.

The example syntax for retrieving historical market value:

ek.get_data('TRI.TO',['TR.CompanyMarketCap','TR.CompanyMarketCap.date'],{'SDate':'2018-11-06'}) #single day
ek.get_data('TRI.TO',['TR.CompanyMarketCap','TR.CompanyMarketCap.date'],{'SDate':'0','Frq':'D', 'EDate':'-6'}) #number of days
ek.get_data('TRI.TO',['TR.CompanyMarketCap','TR.CompanyMarketCap.date'],{'SDate':'2018-11-06','Frq':'D', 'EDate':'2018-11-16'}) #time range
