I am trying to get external series from Index lab using GetExternalSeries and getting runtime error - following is the code I am using.

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.


I get runtime error - could not load data from symbol, eventhough the data exists.
When I copy and print the debug output to GetExternalSeries it works.
What I am doing wrong.

Thanks

What the debug output is?
Why are you adding extra quotes and converting to upper case?

Eugene,

The industry name is lower case and the Index Lab name is upper case so I need to convert it to uppercase.
The debug output is %I_AIRLINES.
I added extra quotes becauase the GetExternalSeries argument is enclosed in quotes - GetExternalSeries("%I_AIRLINES",Close).

OK, upper case is known to be somewhat more "robust".

But you should not add extra quotes.
