Problem description

How can I use parameters not in the overrides, like "fill=p" and "days=a" in excel: =bdp("ISIN Code","PX_LAST","fill=p","days=a")?

This pdblp library wraps the Bloomberg blpapi library, which is written and maintained by Bloomberg. The blpapi library and the Excel Bloomberg library do not use the same backend, and thus the parameters they take in are not the same. From translation from Excel to blpapi (and also by association pdblp) I would either discuss with Bloomberg (HELP HELP in the terminal) or read the blpapi Developer's Guide https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/support/api-library//
