As GOOGLEFINANCE() seems very limited in the cryptocurrencies it supports, are there any (free?) APIs that I can use to get data from?
Although I use GF() for ETH and BTC, I'm specifically looking for Price and Historical Closing Prices on ADA (Cardano).
I've searched the forum for suggestions, there aren't many and most are old. Binance's API seemed OK, but it gives prices in USDT instead of USD.
If anyone is interested, I found an API that offers a free key, although limited in the number of daily calls you can make: CoinAPI.
It seems very powerful, with quotes available in most currencies. So far, I've managed to get a current price:
Formulas shown in brown.
(1) shows the raw data returned, a two rows delimited by semi-colons.
(2) wraps a QUERY() around IMPORTDATA(), using offset 1 plus param 0, to not return the header row, then wraps all that in SPLIT() to separate the delimited text into columns.
(3) wraps (2) with INDEX() so I can get just the Price in the 4th col.
As this value will not automatically update like GOOGLEFINANCE(), I think I'll need to set a Trigger to do that.
I've also retrieved historical data, but I've yet to figure out how to split multiple rows of delimited text from the IMPORTDATA() function.
[Edit] See the solution to splitting multiple rows by #player0 at https://stackoverflow.com/a/69055990/190925.

I have a table of data that I want to turn from raw data into something a little 'prettier' and organized to look at.
The data consists of payments made (3 columns: Name, payment amount, and date of payment).
I'd like to present the data so that for each group of dates that are the same there is a header above those rows with the date itself so the user can see these rows of dates are for say 1/14/2023.
Then the next set of rows for say 1/15/2023 would have the header 1/15/2023.
Please see the attached image.screenshot
In columns A - C is the raw data and I don't know how many and which dates there will be a priori. In columns E-G is the desired output.
You can see I'd also like if possible a footer that sums the totals for that day.
Any ideas on how to achieve this? The ideal solution would be such that you could paste raw data into columns A-C and then the data shows up in columns E-G formatted. I'm hoping there's a design pattern for this type of thing before I cobble together a solution.
I've implemented something through Apps Script, but am more interested in learning if there's a way through the formulas provided in Sheets.
I can see this possibly being done with temp/work tables, but am wondering if this is a common problem/solution and would love to get pointed in the right direction. I'm a programmer and have been using sheets for about a year and can write queries and filters and do lots of things but want to learn the right way and not always just do something the first way that pops into my head that works.
try this formula along with a bit of conditional formatting to get the expected output.
Headsup: Set Columns E, F to DATE Type formatting
=LAMBDA(czx,MAP(INDEX(czx,,1),INDEX(czx,,2),INDEX(czx,,3),LAMBDA(ax,bx,cx,{ax,IF(ISNUMBER(ax),{"",""},IF(ax="TOTALS",{"",cx},IF(LEN(ax),{bx,cx})))})))(SORT(LAMBDA(ax,FILTER(ax,INDEX(ax,,1)<>""))({BYROW(UNIQUE(B:B),LAMBDA(bx,IF(bx="",,{bx,bx,0})));A:C;BYROW(UNIQUE(B:B),LAMBDA(bx,IF(bx="",,{"TOTALS",bx,SUMIF(B:B,bx,C:C)})))}),2,1))
I have a product with In-App Purchases in several markets in which transactions happen in their local currency. Created a Google Sheet for the purpose of reporting revenues in our base currency (USD). I tried several things to create the most effective method to automatically read the currency pair for each transaction, but the formula isn't working.
I am attempting to accomplish 3 things here:
Create an array that will automatically convert different currencies to USD by using the GOOGLEFINANCE formula (see "G1" on the embedded spreadsheet).
Eliminating error when conversion finds a value having the same ISO codes (see "F12" on the embedded spreadsheet).
Calculating the transaction using the exchange rate of the day of the transaction instead of TODAY's exchange rate (no clue on how to do this without breaking the GOOGLEFINANCE formula).
Here is the formula I am using on Col "G" is:
={"CONVERSION ARRAY";ARRAYFORMULA(E2:E*GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:"&D2:D))}
The problem with this approach is that it replicates the value of cell "D2" down the whole array, instead of consecutive values from D2,3,4, etc, accordingly. Removing the "&" from the array breaks the formula.
While the formula used on Col "F" =E2*GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:"&D2) works, the problem here is that it has to be placed manually, row by row, and this is inefficient when dealing with thousands of records. Also, you will notice on cel F12, I get an invalid value because GoogleFinance cannot convert from dollars to dollars. The formula outputs an error. Is there a way to make the formula understand that when trying to convert a value with the same currency ISO's, the value stays the same?
Even while I get the correct calculation on approach #2, the data calculated is based on TODAY's exchange rate, however, I need that calculation based on the exchange rate of the same date of the transaction. Is this even possible?
The referred spreadsheet example is here: Google Finances Conversion Formula
GOOGLEFINANCE is not supported under ARRAYFORMULA
if your D2:D range is small you can do:
={"CONVERSION ARRAY";ARRAYFORMULA(E2:E5*{
GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:"&D2);
GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:"&D3);
GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:"&D4);
GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:"&D5)})}
I am trying to find a formula that will give me the count of unique dates a persons' name appears in one of two different columns and/or both columns.
I have a set of data where a person's name may show up in a "driver" column or a "helper" column, multiple times over the course of one day. Throughout the day some drivers might also be helpers and some days a driver may come in for duty but only as a helper. Basically all drivers can be helpers, but not all helpers can be drivers.
I've attached a link to a sample sheet for more clarity.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GqNa1hrViX4B6mkL3wWcqEsy87gmdw77DhkhIaswLyI/edit?usp=sharing
I've created a REPORTS tab with a SORT(UNIQUE(FLATTEN)) Formula to give me a list of the names that appear in the DATA Tab.
I'm looking for a way to count the unique dates a name from the name (Column A of the REPORTS Tab) appears in either of the two columns (Column B and/or C of the DATA Tab) to determine the total number of days worked so I can calculate the total number of days off over the range queried.
I've tried several iterations of countif, countunique, and countuniqueifs but cannot seem to find a way to return the correct values.
Any advice on how to make this work would be appreciated.
I think if you put this formula in cell b7 you'll be set. You can drag it down.
=Counta(Unique(filter(DATA!A:A,(DATA!C:C=A7)+(DATA!B:B=A7))))
Here's a working version of your file.
For anyone interested, Google Sheets' Filter function differs slightly from Excel's Filter function because Sheets attempts to make it easier for users to apply multiple conditions by simply separating each parameter with a comma. Example: =filter(A:A,A:A<>"",B:B<>"bad result") will provide different results between the Sheets and Excel.
Excel Filter requires users to specify multiple conditions within parenthesis and denote each criterion be flagged with an OR condition with a + else an AND condition with a multiplication sign *. While this can appear daunting and bizarre to multiply arrays that have text in it, it allows for more flexibility.
To Google's credit, if one follows the required Excel Syntax (as I did in this answer) then the functions will behave the same.
delete what you got and use:
=QUERY(QUERY(UNIQUE({DATA!A:B; DATA!A:A, DATA!C:C}),
"select Col2,count(Col1),"&D2&"-count(Col2)
where Col2 is not null
group by Col2"),
"offset 1", 0)
Is there a way to print out the GICS sector name for a specific share/ETF symbol in google sheets using the GOOGLEFINANCE commands or any other way?
Many thanks
I used this site to find several scraping methods to get data from finviz.
https://decodingmarkets.com/scrape-stock-data-from-finviz/
Extending their logic, I was able to get the company name, and the combined sector/subsector codes
(I originally used the website's scraping techniques to get Dividend data that GoogleFinance formula lacks...)
This formula gets the company name using US ticker symbol in cell C3:
=SUBSTITUTE(INDEX(IMPORTHTML("http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t="&C3,"table",6),2,1),"*","")
Through trial and error, I found that table 6 has name and sectors. I then referenced the 2nd row and 1st column to get the name.
I found that row 3, column 1 has the sector, subsector and country combined as one value. They use a pipe | delimiter for each break.
Using the split function, I was able to split segment.
=SPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(INDEX(IMPORTHTML("http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t="&C3,"table",6),3,1),"*",""),"|",true,true)
Its not available from Sheets
Check out the official docs:

It has a lot of options but unfortunately, not that one.
If you think it would be useful, then make sure you file a feature request #

I'm using Google Sheets to organize data from my global royalty statements. Currently I'm querying several tabs (one for each country) to produce a single table with results from all countries. As you can imagine, I don't want 125 Japanese Yen showing up in my charts and graphs as $125 USD (125 Y is equivalent to about $1.09 USD).
Since I receive my royalty statements in their respective currencies, I'd like to apply average conversion rates either during the query operation or after the fact. Since the table is being generated dynamically, the values won't always be the same, so I need some way to apply the conversion by searching the list of currencies on the fly. I've got a separate table on the same tab containing all the average conversion rates for each currency. Here's a sample of how this is set up:
So basically I just don't know how to say, in coding terms, "If this line item comes from the UK, divide the royalty amount by the UK exchange rate. If it comes from Canada, divide by the Canadian rate, etc."
Anyone have any insight as to how I might pull this off (or whether it's possible)? The actual table includes over 500 line items from a dozen different countries, so doing this by hand is something I'd like to avoid.
I believe you are looking for the GoogleFinance() function. You may want to set the Country to a pick list of the valid country entries so you could create the string for the conversion. I have not looked at many, but this will take a value in CA & and apply the exchange rate to convert it to the US $ Equivalent. The exchange rate in this case is an average of, I believe, the past 30 days.
=C2 * GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:CADUSD" , "average")
For your use, you can get the country code from row M if you change it to match what the formula is after, such as CAD for Canadian Dollars."
=C2 * GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:" & M2 & "USD" , "average")
Another option would be to create a lookup table and use VLOOKUP or some other function, depending on how you set up your table.
