Hi I am trying to do the below to get historical data just in a different currency. con.bdh(['BA US Equity'],['PX_LAST'],'20150629', '20150630', ovrds = [('CRNCY','EUR')])

However, the result is still in USD. It seems it was not override. But if you do the same in BDH in excel, you could get the EUR number by "CRNCY=USD". How can I do that in pdblp?
