Hello @philipr,

For Excel usage questions, for a customer, the best approach is to refer your questions directly to Refinitiv Helpdesk Online -> Eikon, so you can be connected with and helped by Eikon Excel expert. This forum is the way to reserch answers on APIs, this section is dedicated to EDAPI Python.

@philipr I believe it would be possible using the rhistory function in excel - please see the following thread. I am not however sure if that can specify normal market session only.

You can certainly achieve this with our RDP Historical Pricing API:

rdp.get_historical_price_summaries(
    universe = 'MSFT.O', 
    interval = rdp.Intervals.FIVE_MINUTES, # Supported intervals: ONE_MINUTE, FIVE_MINUTES, TEN_MINUTES, THIRTY_MINUTES, ONE_HOUR
    count = 500,
    sessions = [
        #rdp.MarketSession.PRE, 
        rdp.MarketSession.NORMAL 
        #rdp.MarketSession.POST
    ]
)   

However unfortunately at the moment there is an issue with this endpoint which means it returns minute intervals only (though its easy to resample this in python.). I hope this can help.
