Search for “ImportFromWeb” – an add-on from No Code No Business that allows you to import data from any website into your spreadsheet using a simple function.
Click on Install, continue to give the required permissions, and select your Google account to proceed. Finally, click on Allow to complete the installation.
Using ImportFromWeb to Fetch Data:
Once installed, you can find the ImportFromWeb option under Extensions.
To use it, simply input the function into a cell in your Google Sheets to start fetching data from Yahoo Finance.
Specify what stock data you want to fetch, such as market cap, dividend, EPS, day low, day high, and volume. You will need to select these metrics specifically in your function setup.
