Hello everyone,

I am quite new to Refinitiv Workspace and have up until now only retrieved company information in Excel using the formula builder.

However, now I need to retrieve historical GDP data in Excel for broader geographic regions, namely the US, Europe and Asia from the year 2002 until 2012. Is there any way to do so?

In another post I have already found the code of the Economic Indicator in order to retrieve GDP data for the US, which would be "aUSXGDP/C" (or "aUSXGDP/CA" in case the first one would not work). This first code worked, however the post said to simply adapt the two letters of the country code respectively. However, I am not sure how to proceed now, as I am looking for information on regions, not only countries and when trying to impute "EU" instead, it did not work. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case?

I would be really grateful for any kind of help! Thank you very much!
