Access the data in Google Sheets

You can access all of the Google Finance data in Google Sheets. This is helpful if you want to download, analyze, and visualize the data. 


Create a new sheet in Google Sheets ‘sheets.new’.


To access the finance data, click on a cell and start your query by entering:=GOOGLEFINANCE(“The full query requires the following:=GOOGLEFINANCE(ticker, [attribute], [start_date], [end_date|num_days], [interval])
