Refinitv Data Platform RDP VBA Refresh

in Eikon Data APIs

Hello,


I have recently received access to Refinitiv Workspace, and I am trying to open up pre-made Macro-enabled excel worksheets which has TR formulas made using Eikon Excel.

I am able to retrieve the data, but I am facing an issue when trying to refresh the workbook through VBA. When using Eikon, the below command works:

Application.Run "EikonRefreshWorkbook"

In Refinitiv Workspace though the above command does not work and I receive an error. Is there an alternative to this that can be used with RDP instead within VBA?


Thank you!

    Hello @Prasad.Acharya ,

    If I understand your question correctly,

    I would suggest contacting Refinitiv Helpdesk Online -> Eikon directly, to have Refinitiv Eikon support experts help troubleshoot the issue with Eikon Excel in your specific environment, as the issue appears to be specific to the environment.

    ---

    I would like to explain, that RDP integration of the same or similar content would have to be designed and implemented, first fully identifying the specific content requirements, then identifying RDP services or functions within RDP API Libraries that enable the retrieval of that content, and lastly implementing the programmatic integration accordingly.

    So in my view, it may be helpful to first round up the requirement: are you trying to get the sheets provided as examples working (one level of effort) or design and implement alternative programmatic integration via Eikon Data API or Refinitiv Data Platform API, or Refinitiv Data Platform API Libraries (different level of effort and approach)?

    Hope this information helps?
