Why am I getting empty field when retrieving data for an MSCI index?

I am trying to retreive data for a MSCI index and I am getting empty value for the name and currency. Is there something wrong in my query?

Here is the query:

data1, err1 = ek.get_data(['.dMIUGC0000NEU'],['TR.IndexName','TR.IndexCalculationCurrency'])

Hi @Tulkkas

Can you use "DSPLY_NAME" and "CURRENCY" fields?

Hello @Tulkkas, You can use the Data Item Browser to see the list of available fields for an item. I see the field TR.CommonName and CF_CURR, which contain the information that you are looking for.

Thank you for your answer. TR.CommonName is for company and in that case, it gives me MSCI which is the company which licences those indices. I am not sure if you noticed that. In my case I am actually looking for the name of index itslef, which should be something like MSCI EUROPE Ex UNITED KINGDOM Ex SWITZERLAND. For me it makes sense that TR.IndexName would be the right field. My question was why this field works fine for all other indices i am interested:

.dMIMS00000PUS.dMIME00000PUS.dMIMU00000PUS.dMILA00000PUS.dMIUGC0000PUS.dMIJP00000PUS.dMIPCJ0000PUS.dMICH00000P.dMIGB00000PUS.dMICA00000PUS.dMIUS00000PUS

but not this one?

of course I can use it! That's not a problem. But the name provided is really not very user friendly compare to TR.IndexName. Is there a reason why .dMIUGC0000NEU does not have and index name?
