Hi team, raising the case on behalf of client.

** REMOVED **

 

Query  : I was wondering if you could help me find a data item to use with CODEBK? From our Dashboard we have a chart which shows for a portfolio the "% Change - Top/Bottom 10 Securities" which shows the current daily % change or as of last close I believe.

I was wondering if you knew which data item this would refer to so I could grab this data for my Python code?

I tried "PCTCHNG", but I ran this when North American Markets were open and EU/Asia was closed. So I get no values for EU/Asia

This just shows that "Schneider Electric Se" shows the closing daily return for an EU stock

Kindly need your assistance please.

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    This forum is dedicated to software developers using LSEG APIs. The moderators on this forum do not have deep expertise in every bit of content available through LSEG products, which is required to answer content questions such as this one.

    The best resource for content questions is the Helpdesk support team, which can be reached by submitting queries through LSEG Support. The support team will either have the required content expertise ready available or can reach out to relevant content experts to get the answer for you.

    You need to ask for the Excel formula, such as =RDP.Data, that can be used to retrieve the required data.

    Then, we can help you converting that formula to Python code.

  • Thanks,

    LSEG provided me with the "PCTCHNG" as the correct item I am looking for, and provided me with a sample excel formula:

    =@RDP .Data("BPI.PS;JFC.PS;2195.T;3639.T","PCTCHNG","CH=FdRH=IN, CURN=USD")

    Do you know if it is possible to apply the currency conversion to USD in CODEBK, similar to how its done in excel?
