EPIC - Ediston Property

Post by kempiejon »

Heads up,

I see the newest datasheet has the company above, yet for me when I try to add it as a share the sheet picks up the header of the datasheet so although I can add EPIC shares and pull a price the description for the first 3 columns is
Data Sheet Name EPIC New Data Sheet Sector,

Good timing! I'm working on final tests and documentation for a new release, so I'm glad you didn't find this problem after I've published the new version.
I can see the problem on both the Excel and LibreOffice versions, amazed that nobody has picked up on this previously.

I'll work on a fix

Not fully tested, but it looks like the following changes will fix the problem:
  • Company Data Sheet, change the heading in cell C1 from "EPIC" to anything else. For example "EPIC symbol" or "Symbol"
  • Company Data Sheet. Locate the row for Ediston Property Investment Company, and change column D from "New Data Sheet Sector" (a total screw-up on my part) to "IT - Property - UK Commercial"

Ta. That looks like it works and makes sense to me, it's not EPIC anyway as technically it's TIMD - Tradable Instrument Display Mnemonics

Seems to work OK on the testing I have done. I think I'll use the reference "Symbol" since it's not even EPIC/TIDM. It's the Yahoo stock symbol minus the ".L" suffix. It's generally the same as EPIC/TIDM but with some differences, such as BT-A vs BT.A

Thanks for highlighting the problem.

Glad to help. Thaks for the extra details about the EPIC too. I had noticed BT.
