Multiple prices for the same RIC and date

Hello,

I'm working with Brazilian date and found that for some stocks, when I retrieve the price date, the query returns multiple lines for the same date. Is this because my date field is based on TR.PriceClose (i.e.,TR.PriceClose.Date)?

Here is the code (FYI, this RIC is an equity forward. The underlying is PETR4.SA)


fields = [{'TR.CLOSEPRICE(Adjusted=0)': {'Curn': 'BRL'}},
          {'TR.CLOSEPRICE(Adjusted=1)': {'Curn': 'BRL'}},
          'TR.PriceClose.Date']

params = {'SDate': '2012-01-04', 'EDate': '2020-12-30', 'Frq': 'D', 'CH': 'Fd'}
df, e = ek.get_data(instruments = ['PETR4S.SA'], fields=fields, parameters=params)

df[df['Date'] == '2012-09-14T00:00:00Z']

df[df['Date'] == '2012-09-14T00:00:00Z'].drop_duplicates()


It returns the following:

Note that after removing duplicates, we have multiple prices for the same date.

Thank you in advance.

    Hi @p.saffi ,

    The duplicate rows are from different Calc Date and Period End Date, you can check available parameters of the field in Data Item Browser > Parameters tab > Output dropdown

    Here's the result of every parameters available of TR.CLOSEPRICE

    1703059285162.pngAlso, are there any specific reason to use date from TR.PriceClose? It's recommended to use date from the same field as the close price instead as it's the same set of the data

    Thank you @raksina.samasiri. Why does using a different CalcDate and PeriodEndDates change the answer here? For instance, in row 2220 of the ic you sent last, for Date 2015-05-27, we have calcdates in 2020-12-22.

    I have stopped using TR.PriceClose.date and started using the one for ClosePrice. Would you recommend using TR.ClosePrice.Timestamp as the main "date" variable instead?


    Thank you again,

    Pedro
