In excel i am able to do the following query:
=TR(stockRIC,"TR.DivExDate;TR.DivType;TR.DivPaymentType;ZAV(TR.DivadjustedGross)","CH=Fd sdate=#1 edate=#2 curn=#3 SORTD=TR.DivExDate DateType=ED",$C$11:$F$92,sdate,edate,currency)
Which results in the following:
How can I do this in Python for a set of stocks? When I do a similar request in Python the dividend of 125 does not show, it give a 0 value.
Hi
Regarding your issue, you can used the following get_data function to retrieve the desired information
>>> start='2019-01-01'
>>> end='2019-03-11'
>>> ric='PSN.L'
>>> currency='GBp'
data, err=ek.get_data(ric,['TR.DivExDate','Tr.DivType','TR.DivPaymentType','ZAV(TR.DivadjustedGross)'],parameters={'Sdate':start,'Edate':end, 'Curn':currency, 'dateType':'ED','SORTD':'TR.DivExDate'})
Hope it help you.
Thank you for you help! It works and it is what I was looking for.
One extra thing I would like to ask you is what the ZAV() is for? I found the query i posted in an Eikon excel template, but I do not really know what the ZAV() is for. Do you know?
Thank you again for all your help.
Cheers, Mick
You can find these functions in Expression Editor in Formula Builder wizard in Eikon Excel. See screenshots below.
