Dates in get_data()

Just wanted to confirm my understanding. I am looking to calculate dividend + buyback yields for stock over a few years.

Attached is the get_data call

ek.get_data(['OCBC.SI','STEL.SI','DBSM.SI'], ['TR.DividendYield.period','TR.RepurchaseRetirementOfCommon','TR.CompanyMarketCap','TR.DividendYield'],{'Frq': 'FY', 'SDate': -4,'EDate': 0, 'Curn' : 'SGD', 'CH':'Fd'})[0]

Will this return all the fields with values as of a common date? In this case, it will be the end of the financial year. Is it possible to get the trailing 12 month values as of a particular day : say end of March every year?

    Hi @rajanraju

    You can use "Data Item Browser" and look at "Description" and "Parameters" to see its detail.

    To launch "Data Item Browser", type in "DIB" on Eikon search bar and press enter.

    Each field may or may not support the period according to your requirements.
