Demo stock investment portfolio tracker with Google Data Studio

As explained in the post Create personal stock portfolio tracker with Google Sheets and Google Data Studio, a personal stock portfolio tracker consists of 2 main elements: a spreadsheet in Google Sheets and an interactive dashboard in Google Data Studio. The dashboard below is built with Google Data Studio and visualizes data stored in the spreadsheet that can be found in the post Demo stock portfolio tracker with Google Sheets.

The dashboard below is not an image, it is a real one and is interactive. You can change some filters to see data from a different perspective. For instance, you can change the date range or select a particular stock.

Compute cost basis of stocks with FIFO method in Google Sheets

After selling a portion of my holdings in a stock, the cost basis for the remain shares of that stock in my portfolio is not simply the sum of all transactions. When selling, I need to decide which shares I want to sell. One of the most common accounting methods is FIFO (first in, first out), meaning that the shares I bought earliest will be the shares I sell first. As you might already know, I use Google Sheets extensively to manage my stock portfolio investment, but, at the moment of writing this post, I find that Google Sheets does not provide a built-in formula for FIFO. Luckily, with lots of effort, I succeeded in building my own FIFO solution in Google Sheets, and I want to share it on this blog. In this post, I explain how to implement FIFO method in Google Sheets to compute cost basis in stocks investing.

Create personal stock portfolio tracker with Google Sheets and Google Data Studio

I have been investing in the stock market for a while. I was looking for a software tool that could help me better manage my portfolio, but, could not find one that satisfied my needs. One day, I discovered that the Google Sheets application has a built-in function called GOOGLEFINANCE which fetches current or historical prices of stocks into spreadsheets. So I thought it is totally possible to build my own personal portfolio tracker with Google Sheets. I can register my transactions in a sheet and use the pivot table, built-in functions such as GOOGLEFINANCE, and Apps Script to automate the computation for daily evolutions of my portfolio as well as the current position for each stock in my portfolio. I then drew some sort of charts within the spreadsheet to have some visual ideas of my portfolio. However, I quickly found it inconvenient to have the charts overlapped the table and to switch back and forth among sheets in the spreadsheet. That's when I came to know the existen...

Use SPARKLINE column chart to create price chart with reference price

I own and follow several stocks in my investment portfolio. I pick a reference price for each stock. To effectively track the movement of a stock, I need to visualize its 52-week prices based on the reference price that I determined. In this post, I explain how to do so with the SPARKLINE column chart in Google Sheets.

How to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV) of a stock portfolio with Google Sheets

As a long-term investor, I need to know how to evaluate the performance of my stock portfolio. A simple return on investment calculation is not a good indicator for long-term investment because it does not take into account the holding duration, and cash flows involved during that period. A return on investment of 80% after 20 years is not as impressive as it sounds after 1 year. In this post, I explain the idea of using Google Sheets to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV) of a stock portfolio.

Manage Stock Transactions With Google Sheets

The first task of building a stock portfolio tracker is to design a solution to register transactions. A transaction is an event when change happens to a stock portfolio, for instance, selling shares of a company, depositing money, or receiving dividends. Transactions are essential inputs to a stock portfolio tracker and it is important to keep track of transactions to make good decisions in investment. In this post, I will explain step by step how to keep track of stock transactions with Google Sheets.

Use SPARKLINE to create 52-week range price indicator chart for stocks in Google Sheets

The 52-week range price indicator chart shows the relative position of the current price compared to the 52-week low and the 52-week high price. It visualizes whether the current price is closer to the 52-week low or the 52-week high price. In this post, I explain how to create a 52-week range price indicator chart for stocks by using the SPARKLINE function and the GOOGLEFINANCE function in Google Sheets.

Stock Correlation Analysis With Google Sheets

Correlation is a statistical relationship that measures how related the movement of one variable is compared to another variable. For example, stock prices fluctuate over time and are correlated accordingly or inversely to one another. Understanding stock correlation and being able to perform analysis are very helpful in managing a stock portfolio investment. In this post, I explain in details how to perform correlation analysis among stocks in Google Sheets.

Demo how to use XIRR and XNPV functions of Google Sheets to calculate internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) for a stock portfolio

I have explained the idea of using Google Sheets functions to calculate internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) for a stock portfolio . The process consists mainly of three steps: Identify cash flows from transactions managed in a Google Sheets spreadsheet Choose a discount rate based on personal preferences Apply XIRR and XNPV functions of Google Sheets In this post, I demonstrate step-by-step how to apply this process to calculate internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) for a stock portfolio at 3 levels.

How to use WEEKDAY function to get last Friday in Google Sheets

As I manage my stock investment portfolio in Google Sheets, I need to see its evolution over time, for example, in the last year. However, the computation for daily evolution is resource-consuming and might cause performance issues for the spreadsheet. As an alternative, I compute only the weekly evolution of the investment portfolio for the last year. For each week, I compute only the portfolio's value at the end of the Friday. For that, I need a Google Sheets formula to return the last Friday for a given date. This post explains how I do that with the WEEKDAY formula in Google Sheets.

Slice array in Google Sheets

Many functions in Google Sheets return an array as the result. However, I find that there is a lack of built-in support functions in Google Sheets when working with an array. For example, the GOOGLEFINANCE function can return the historical prices of a stock as a table of two columns and the first-row being headers Date and Close. How can I ignore the headers or remove the headers from the results?
