Hi, I have an excel request that references the method ZAV(). What is ZAV()? What does it do? Is there a place I can find documentation on that method? =TR("MSFT.O","ZAV(TR.TotalRevenue(Scale=6))","SDate=0 EDate=-199 Period=FQ0 Frq=FQ",B2) Thanks!

Hello @Robby Stamper,
The Zero Available function (ZAV) provides a method to replace nulls with a numeric zero.
In Excel, so this function does not apply to Eikon Data API Python.
I am updating my answer to include the recommended approach, how to look this information up in Eikon Excel documentation.
Select FormulaBuilder tool from Eikon Excel:
In FormulaBuilder, select
- Instruments: MSFT.O
- Data Items: TR.TotalRevenue
- Next, on the right hand side, in Parameters & Quick Functions section, check "Treat As Zero If Not Available"
- Lastly, if you "Open in Expression Editor"
Should see expression
ZAV(TR.TotalRevenue(Period=FY0,Scale=6))
ZAV() being the result of "Treat As Zero If Not Available" quick function in Expression Builder.
