The issue is with parsing of the date = we want '18.03.2020', while it’s looking for '18.03.20'. So it’s coming up with an empty row and then you’re trying to split None and take the 0 index.

So just change where you see '%d.%m.%y' to '%d.%m.%Y'

My Python program gets values of shares from a website, but doesn’t work when a value is above 99. I don’t understand the error message. The website is an HTML where I get values of a table.
