How to clean the output of data

Hello, I have the code below.

import DatastreamPy as dsws
import pandas as pd

# set up connection
def connection_DSWS():
    DSWS_username = open("DSWSUsername.txt","r")
    DSWS_password = open("DSWSPassword.txt","r")

    ds = dsws.Datastream(username = str(DSWS_username.read()),
                         password = str(DSWS_password.read()))

    DSWS_username.close()
    DSWS_password.close()
    return ds 

def return_data(start, end, tickers, eom=False, period=12, format_date="Other"):      
    ds = connection_DSWS()
    df = ds.get_data(tickers=tickers, start=start, end=end, freq="M")
    df
    return df

Tickers = 'USCONPRCE(ES)*DUMMYMTE,USCNFBUSQ(ES)*DUMMYMTE,TRUS10T(RY)*DUMMYMTE' 
StartDate = "2020-12-31" #Put start date with the following format "yyyy-mm-dd"
EndDate = "2022-02-22" #same above for end date
FormatDate = "yyyymmdd" #Format in the csv 
Period = 3 # Period of ROC and MOM
path = "Output.csv"
EndOfMonth = True #True if you use *DUMMYMTE, you have to use it for all elements to have EOM data

df = return_data(StartDate, EndDate, Tickers, EndOfMonth, Period, FormatDate)

df

How to clean the dataframe so that the output into a csv file, comma delimited, with the ticker names in the headline and the date into the yyyymmdd format, will be exactly like this (see below) ?

Date,USCONPRCE,USCNFBUSQ,TRUS10T

20201231,261.564,60.5,0.912

20210129,262.200,59.4,1.094

20210226,263.346,60.9,1.456

20210331,265.028,63.7,1.746

Thanks!

Hi @Aleniles ,

Is this what you're looking for?

new_header = ['USCONPRCE','USCNFBUSQ','TRUS10T'] 
df.to_csv('csv_output.csv', header=new_header

output CSV file

compare to the df, the data matches

Great!

And starting from that last csv file ... how to change (and fill the data) so to have this output:

Date,USCONPRCE,USCONPRCE _CHG,USCNFBUSQ,USCNFBUSQ _CHG,TRUS10T,TRUS10T_CHG

So basically is TICKER1,TICKER1_CHG,TICKER2_,TICKER2_CHG etc

Add the suffix _CHG to all tickers in a new column and fill it with 1 period actual change eg: df["USCONPRCE_CHG"]=(df['USCONPRCE']-df['USCONPRCE'].shift(1)) ?

This using a dynamic loop so that it will work with whatever ticker / whatever numbers of total tickers we have ... that is ... take first column ticker, add a new colum ticker_chg, add the actual change to that new column. Do the same for ticker 2, ticker 3 until last column.

I was able to add the columns with _CHG but how to add the price change as values instead of Nan ?

df1=df
for count in range(len(df1.columns)):
    df1.insert(count*2+1, df1.columns[count*2]+'_CHG', 'Nan')

df1

Aleniles

Solved (for all, hope it helps)

df1=df

for count in range(len(df1.columns)):

    df1.insert(count*2+1, df1.columns[count*2]+'_CHG', 100*(df1[df1.columns[count*2]]/df1[df1.columns[count*2]].shift(1)-1) )



df1

As you can see the TRUS10T(RY) pulls only 3 decimal numbers by default. Is there a way to increase those decimals to 4 numbers while getting the data? I do not see any arguments for that in the get_data function

Ok the solution is to use 'DPL#(BMUS10Y(RY)-BMUS02Y(RY),4)' as a ticker instead of 'BMUS10Y(RY)-BMUS02Y(RY) ' but unfortunatley doesn't work for other tickers like DPL#(TRUS10T(RY),4) or DPL#(USCNFBUSQ(ES)*DUMMYMTE,2), could you check why ?
