=GETHISTORIC("IBM",90,"2020-12-01","YAHOO") has an error

[omoknen]

Using LO Windows 6.4.7.2 (x64) Get GETREALTIME command works, but GETHISTORIC command doesn't work. We received an error in the cell of:

Date format not supported: '2020-12-01'

We can not figure out why that happened. We tried alternate dates and symbols still the same error. I wish I knew something about Python. I did check the error message and I know it is about "dateutil" and I checked it is installed in LO.

We looked at the download on the page and that date format looks the same. Is there something we can change? Thank you

Assuming you use a recent version, could you check file extension.log in directory .financials-extension under the current users home directory if it contains any usable error message? What is your Windows language?

You could copy/paste the output from =GETREALTIME("SUPPORT") here.

And check the the details for the =GETHISTORIC call in the trace.log file in same location as above?

Using Windows 10 Pro English, I decided to put both a getrealtime and a gethistoric on a single sheet.

The "extension.log" had nothing, so I looked at the "trace log" and it had the same kind if messages.

getHistoric is above

I have uploaded a new release of the extension to fix this issue (I hope) - let me know if that works for you. For the record, the was the (normal) Python locale not being set on Windows.

[omoknen]

Thanks it worked - you worked so fast!

I saw that in the release about the locale, since all my settings are defaulted in LO it must take it from the OS. That was probably the problem.

Good to know! closing...
