    Exactly what I have been looking for! You are amazing buddy!! Is it possible to include XIRR at individual stock level for comparison purposes. I could add overall portfolio XIRR, but couldn't get it calculated at stock level.

      Thank you for your feedback and suggestion!

      It's the first time I hear about XIRR. I'll learn about it and see if I can add it to the stock portfolio tracker. If so, I'll publish a new post for it.

      Hi, I hope you are doing well!

      I just want to let you know that thanks to your suggestion, I just published a series of posts about how to use XIRR and XNPV functions in Google Sheets to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV) of a stock portfolio at different levels (stock level and portfolio level).

      Please check them out below. Enjoy reading and thanks again for your suggestion!

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

How to convert column index into letters with Google Apps Script

Although Google Sheets does not provide a ready-to-use function that takes a column index as an input and returns corresponding letters as output, we can still do the task by leveraging other built-in functions ADDRESS , REGEXEXTRACT , INDEX , SPLIT as shown in the post . However, in form of a formula, that solution is not applicable for scripting with Google Apps Script. In this post, we look at how to write a utility function with Google Apps Script that converts column index into corresponding letters. With the solution in the form of a formula , we don't even need to understand how column index and letters map each other. With apps script, we need to understand the mapping to come up with an algorithm. In a spreadsheet, columns are indexed alphabetically, starting from A. Obviously, the first 26 columns correspond to 26 alphabet characters, A to Z. The next 676 columns ( 26*26 ), from 27th to 702nd, are indexed with 2 letters. [AA, AB, ... AY, AZ], [BA, BB, ... BY, BZ],

Stock Portfolio Tracker Dashboard With Google Data Studio

In the series of building personal stock portfolio tracker, we have learned how to use Google Sheets to register transactions . We have then used the pivot table and GOOGLEFINANCE function to compute the latest position of the stock portfolio . We have made a step further to use Apps Scripts to compute automatically and daily the stock portfolio's evolution . However, after all, we have several tables of data as the result which do not tell any story yet. We need to present those data in graphs to understand the portfolio's performance and make improvements accordingly. We can effectively plot graphs in different aspects directly in Google Sheets as it provides many charting tools. However, in my experience, having charts and data in the same spreadsheet is not very convenient because charts and tables tend to overlap each other and of lack of interactivity. We should have a dedicated dashboard to have an overview of the stock portfolio and we can do it greatly with Google Data

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.
