Why do downloaded files have different data than what is displayed on the site?
Updated July 8, 2026
Our main financial data provider, S&P Capital IQ, does not allow downloading of data. When you download something to Excel or CSV then the data will be coming from an alternative data provider (usually Nasdaq Data Link).
Although the downloaded data should be similar, there may be minor discrepancies compared to what is displayed on the site. In some cases, data points may be missing in the downloaded file if an alternative data provider does not have them.
