When I get accounting data for a company using the get_data function (say I want the revenue), and i get the date as well, the date returned is the period end date. What i want is the date at which the revenue was published. If there has been updates to the revenue, I would like to know when this update happened as well.
How can I do that? Thanks!
Hi @fs3
I think that you may use:
TR.ISOriginalAnnouncementDate - Income Statement Original Announcement Date
TR.ISStatementLastUpdatedDate - Income Statement Period Last Update Date
If you use Eikon Excel Build Formula tool, those fields can be found under the category Reuters Fundamentals/General Information/General Information Income Statement.
Please check as well this tutorial where you can find more useful information about navigation through the data items.
Without any additional parameters it will retrieve the latest values but if you want to be more specific you can define e.g. the financial period.
ek.get_data('TRI.TO',['TR.Revenue','TR.ISOriginalAnnouncementDate','TR.ISStatementLastUpdatedDate'],{"Period":"FY0"})
