Hi,
Does anyone know why my volume data shows only 1/100 of the real volume? E.g. Alcoa should have a volume of 3,466,400 but my Reuters Datalink gives me a value of 34,664.
Cheers
Frank

hey frank..... thats pretty much industry standard practice for data suppliers.... esignal does the same thing.... on the charts the multiplier , 100, 1000, can be seen at times in the lower right of the volume scale.....h

The volume alreaday includes the multiplier. I used to have different data suppliers in the past where this problem didn't occur. Maybe there is a setting I have missed somewhere?

Frank,
Did you ever get an answer to your volume issue? I am a new Reuters customer and I would like to know how to automatically correct the volume. For example, if you try to use volume in a formula that calculates the average daily trading dollars for a given stock, the result is not correct due to this multiplier that appears to be embedded in the data file. I have used Dial Data and Prophet without this issue before.

Well... you could make a custom indicator, I suppose. V*100 to set the scale to read 100x the current value. The plot will be the same, but the numbers will be 100x bigger. Here's an example:
{Adjusted volume}
VM:=Input("Volume multiplier: ",10,10000,100);
AV:=V*VM;
AV;
