Google Finance not working 2021

The GOOGLEFINANCE functionallows you to import real-time financial and currency market data straight into Google Sheets. As well as enabling you to track current stocks and shares information, it can also be used to retrieve historical securities data.

This function imports data from the Google Finance web application, which provides daily stock prices, news from the currency and financial markets, and other information on market trends. Google Finance can be accessed from the Google menu like all other Google applications, or simply by searching for a stock on Google, which will bring up the Google Finance information relating to that stock.

If an analyst wants to gather information on a stock, they would usually have to visit a financial market website or database to access a range of information. After carrying out research, the next step is to compile all that relevant stock information into a spreadsheet to prepare it for further number crunching or building financial models.

To do this, the analyst normally has to copy the stock information from the website and paste it into a spreadsheet or use customized scripts to pull in such information. The first approach is cumbersome, unreliable, and definitely not recommended. While the second method is faster, it also has drawbacks. Getting a coder to write a script is expensive and complex, and not very flexible if you need to make changes in the future.

A more reliable and economic alternative to both options is the GOOGLEFINANCE function. If you work with financial market data, this function can save you a serious amount of time, automating data retrieval for you.
