GoogleDocs Hack - How to Bring Stock Feeds to GoogleDocs Spreadsheets!


It’s been months since I dumped Microsoft Outlook for GoogleDocs and I have to say, it’s rather nice to have all your important data online, retrievable by any computer with internet access rather than having to carry or send/receive any data.

Getting back to the point of this story is the fact that you can actually feed GoogleDocs spreadsheets stock market data simply using a syntax of code shown here:

Retrieving Current Stock Information

=GoogleFinance("symbol", "attribute")


Pulling Historical Stock Data

=GoogleFinance("symbol", "attribute", "start_date", "end_date", "interval")

Yes, this is yet another example how Google is far superior to Microsoft, especially the fact that you can link up stuff from websites.

    You have been able to do this with Excel via SmartTags since Office XP launched in 2001
