Future%Chg in data_universe

DataMiner and API
1

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it seems to be an inconsistency at least.

I am trying to get Future%Chg out of the data_universe. It understands the factor because it returns an N/A on everything.

import p123api

with p123api.Client(api_id="YOUR_ID", api_key="YOUR_KEY") as client:
   resp = client.data_universe({
      "universe": "SP500",
      "asOfDt": "2025-08-29",
      "formulas": ["Future%Chg(21)", "Ret%Chg(21, 0)"],
   })

print(resp["data"][0][:5])   # Future%Chg(21): [None, None, None, None, None]

print(resp["data"][1][:5])   # Ret%Chg(21, 0): five numbers

The as-of date is a year old, so the 21 trading days after it exist. Ret%Chg on the same rows returns numbers. Future%Chg returns None on every one of the 498 stocks. The same formula as the ranking formula in a screen_run call with the same as-of date returns real ranks.

If this is a bug, it would be helpful if this worked. If its a feature, it would still be helpful if this worked.

Thanks

Hi Tony,
Your script is returning data for me:
[6.61, 14.62, -3.35, 5.37, -9.1]
[1.31, 4.36, 14.26, -1.84, 8.85]

Are you on the latest version of p123api?

I was not. Thank you! Works great now.
