The weekly download file (data from close Jan 10, file named 2025-01-17) is garbage, but in a new and exciting way. The prices are right for once, which will fool anyone who uses price checks to figure out whether the update is bad, but all the 4- 13- and 26-week data fields are completely null. Perhaps other problems, I didn't check everything.

Yup. Another week with no useful rankings. I don't know how much longer I'm going to throw away my money for this shitty subscription.
The screens that I use actively, ROE_Cash and ROE_Cash2 don't rely on the missing fields. But I have a growing suspicion that VL isn't updating the necessary data fields regularly. The turnover in those screens has been practically zero for months.
