Hi,
I want to know how to change price unit when download data.For example,when downloading Dutch TTF gas futures data,the original data is denoted by EUR/GWH.How can I change the price unit to USD/MMBTU when using ek.get_timeseries?
thank you

Hi @lianye
There are 2 conversions in your question:
1. convert EUR to USD currency
get_timeseries does not support currency parameters.
2. convert GWh to MMBtu
This is a static conversion, it can be done in your code.

So the answer is no, it is not possible to convert the unit in get_timeseries (because of the currency)
Since you did not include any instrument, I think you may try using get_data
For example, I can get the price of equity in 2 different currencies.
You may try the same on the Dutch TTF Gas future instrument.
