Hello,
Is something like Price Returns available as TR formula in Eikon? I know Total Return takes dividends into account but I couldn't find anything in the Item Data Browser regarding to Price Returns.
Does anyone here knows if something like this is available? Thanks for your time!
@22ca8780-99e4-42fa-9ca2-b27abad3c0c4 all the price performance fields can be found under Price & Volume > Price Performance as shown here:

The easiest way to build a price return is to see percent change between two dates:
=TR("AAPL.O","PERCENT_CHG(TR.Close(0d),TR.Close(2018-01-01))")
Or use one of the standard period fields, like TR.PricePctChgYTD
Thanks @Zhenya Kovalyov!
I wanted to implement this in Python but didn't find this on the Item Data Browser. Is there a way to implement this and get a time-series?
I saw TR.PricePctChg1D but is a snapshot, not a time-series.
If you're looking to get timeseries of price returns in Python I think the easiest thing you can do is retrieve the timeseries of price history and calculate any returns you need using dataframe capabilities. E.g.
>>> df, err = ek.get_data('TRI.N',['TR.PriceClose.date','TR.PriceClose'],{'SDate':'-20D','EDate':'0'})
>>> df['Pct Chg'] = df['Price Close'].pct_change()
>>> df
Instrument Date Price Close Pct Chg
