w,err=ek.get_data('4295913449', 'TR.RevenueDate', {'SDate': '1990-01-01', 'EDate': -1, 'FRQ': 'FY', 'Curn': 'EUR'})

thx

Hi @mbp

Please compare that with the information in Thomson Reuters Eikon. This is the data available for this company.

Hi,

This is not what I expected to see.

I would have expected something like a) it's because you're missing ... or b) there is an error in EIKON API.

Hi @mbp

The output is correct and logical. You specifically request for a data in a time span of 1990 up to current year -1Y and you receive the available data for that period. Nothing is missing and there is no error in Eikon API.

Why does this code return data for 1996-1998 when I am asking for 1990?
