DSCHART End of Month data (in workspace)

Hi,

I want to download data from the DSCHART app (TRI from several global indices) but I cannot figure out how to parametrize the dates to be end of month. I didn't find in the documentation how to do this.

Using Dtart=BASE and End:LATEST provides monthly data but is not end of month (as in the screenshot, I get dates such as 08/M/YYY or 10/M/YYY). Ideally, I would like to get EOM (such as 31/M/YYY) dates.

    Typically, to get month-end data, you need to specify an absolute date in the Start parameter, such as 1/31/2005.

    However, this forum is dedicated to software developers using Refinitiv APIs. For DSCHART questions, please contact the Datastream support team directly via MyRefinitiv.

  • Hi @ricardo.henriquez ,

    I'd like to add that tried to update the End field with 'Month End' and got the same result as yours. Hence please contact the Datastream support team directly as mentioned by my colleague.

  • @Jirapongse Thanks, it worked well. Just as a following question, what would be the specification to get daily data?

    These indices have daily data as defined in Datastream Navigator.

    You can change the view to Chart Settings.

    Then, select the Dates and Data tab and change the Frequency to Daily. Finally, click the OK or Apply button.
