Stock Market Real time dashboard in Google sheet


Here’s the step-by-step process for creating a Google Sheets dashboard for real-time stock market data in a point-by-point format:


---

Step 1: Setup the Google Sheet

1. Open a new Google Sheet.


2. Rename the sheet to something like "Stock Dashboard."




---

Step 2: Enable Real-Time Data with GOOGLEFINANCE

1. Use the GOOGLEFINANCE function to fetch stock data.


2. Example formulas:

Current Price: =GOOGLEFINANCE("TICKER_SYMBOL", "price")

Opening Price: =GOOGLEFINANCE("TICKER_SYMBOL", "open")

52-Week High: =GOOGLEFINANCE("TICKER_SYMBOL", "high52")

52-Week Low: =GOOGLEFINANCE("TICKER_SYMBOL", "low52")

Market Cap: =GOOGLEFINANCE("TICKER_SYMBOL", "marketcap")





---

Step 3: Create Columns for Data

1. Add headers in Row 1:

Stock Symbol

Current Price

Open Price

52W High

52W Low

Market Cap



2. Enter stock symbols (e.g., "GOOG", "AAPL") in Column A.


3. Use the GOOGLEFINANCE formulas in other columns to fetch data dynamically.




---

Step 4: Fetch Historical Data (Optional)

1. Use this formula to get historical data:

Example: =GOOGLEFINANCE("GOOG", "price", DATE(2024,1,1), TODAY(), "DAILY")



2. This will pull daily prices from January 1, 2024, to today.




---

Step 5: Create a Separate Dashboard Sheet

1. Add a new sheet and rename it to "Dashboard."


2. Use formulas to link data from the main sheet to the dashboard:

Example: =Data!B2 to display the current price of a stock.





---

Step 6: Add Charts for Visualization

1. Line Chart:

Select historical data (e.g., dates and prices) to visualize trends.

Go to Insert → Chart and select a line chart.



2. Bar Chart:

Use stock symbols and their current prices to compare performance.





---

Step 7: Automate Data Refresh

1. Google Sheets updates GOOGLEFINANCE data every few minutes automatically.


2. For faster updates, manually refresh the sheet by pressing F5.


3. Optionally, use Google Apps Script with a time-driven trigger for advanced refresh automation.




---

Step 8: Customize the Dashboard

1. Filters:

Add filters to sort and view stocks based on performance or attributes.



2. Conditional Formatting:

Apply formatting rules (e.g., green for price increase, red for decrease).





---

Step 9: Share the Dashboard

1. Go to File → Share.


2. Set sharing permissions to "View" so others can see the dashboard without editing.

This process will help you create a dynamic, interactive stock market dashboard in Google Sheets. Let me know if you need further customization!
