Download of Quarterly data for banks

Good morning Sirs, I am a PhD candidate from Italy and I need some help with data because I am not an expert on Eikon. I need banks' quarterly data for my research but when I try to download them, I see for each quarter the same data (in terms of assets and other variables I need) for each individual bank. In other words, there is no change in data between one quarter and another, so it seems data are annual and not quarterly. Am I making some mistakes in setting the download or quarterly data for European banks are not available? Thanks a lot for the help.

Here's an example of retrieving Total Assets and Total Deposits for a few banks for the last 8 quarters using Eikon Data APIs. For more info on how to go about metadata (field names and parameters) discovery for use with Eikon Data APIs see this tutorial.

ek.get_data(['DANSKE.CO','BAC.N','DBKGn.DE'],
            ['TR.BSPeriodEndDate',
             'TR.TotalAssetsReported','TR.TotalDepositsBnk'],
            {'Period':'FQ0','SDate':'0','EDate':'FQ-7','Frq':'FQ'})
