NSE Option Chain in Google Sheets
For users interested in importing NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) option chain data into Google Sheets, web scraping techniques can be employed using Google Sheets' built-in functions. One such method involves the use of the '=IMPORTHTML' function.
To import NSE option chain data, follow these steps:
Identify the URL of the NSE option chain data you wish to import.
Use the '=IMPORTHTML' function in Google Sheets with the URL, specify "table" as the type of data, and choose the appropriate table number. For example: '=IMPORTHTML("https://niftyinvest.com/option-chain/NIFTY?expiry=03JUN2021","table",1)'.
Adjust the URL to match the specific expiry date you're interested in.
Note that this method might not always work due to changes in the NSE website's structure or restrictions on web scraping.
Option Chain Google Sheets
For a more comprehensive and flexible approach to importing option chain data into Google Sheets, you can use the Market Data Google Workspace Add-on. This add-on provides access to the 'OPTIONCHAIN' formula, which allows for real-time option chain data retrieval with various filtering capabilities.
To use the 'OPTIONCHAIN' formula:
Install the Market Data Google Workspace Add-on.
In your Google Sheet, use the formula in the following format: '=OPTIONCHAIN("AAPL","all","1/17/2025")', replacing "AAPL" with your desired ticker, and "1/17/2025" with the specific expiration date.
Customize the output by specifying columns and applying filters such as strike range, side (calls or puts), and moneyness (ITM, OTM).
This method provides a dynamic and customizable way to monitor option chains directly within Google Sheets.
Yahoo Finance is a valuable source for financial data, including option chains. While direct integration might require technical skills, third-party tools like Coupler.io offer a user-friendly way to import Yahoo Finance data into Google Sheets.
To import data using Coupler.io:
Sign up for Coupler.io and create a new importer with Yahoo Finance as the source and Google Sheets as the destination.
Configure the importer by specifying the JSON URL of the Yahoo Finance data and other parameters like HTTP method and query strings.
Set up automatic data refresh schedules to keep your Google Sheets data up to date.
Alternatively, for a more technical approach, you can use Google Apps Script to create custom functions for importing Yahoo Finance data into Google Sheets. This method involves writing a script that fetches data from Yahoo Finance and returns it in a usable format within your sheet.
To use Google Apps Script:
Open Google Sheets and click on 'Extensions' > 'Apps Script'.
Copy and paste a custom script designed to fetch Yahoo Finance data. An example script could be: 'function yahooF(ticker) { const url = `https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/${ticker}?p=${ticker}`; const res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {muteHttpExceptions: true}); the contentText = res.getContentText(); const price = contentText.match(/(\d+[,]?[\d\.]+?)/); console.log(price[1]); return price[1]; }'.
Save the script and use the custom function in your Google Sheet by typing '=yahooF("TSLA")', replacing "TSLA" with your desired ticker.
This script-based method allows for flexible and customizable data import but requires some programming knowledge.

IMPORTRANGE lets you import a range of data from one Google Sheets spreadsheet into another. IMPORTDATA lets you transfer data from different file types (e.g. XML, HTML, CSV) to your spreadsheet. So while they both let you import data, they're for completely different sources.
The maximum number of cells in a single sheet is 5 million, and the file size limit for imports is 100 MB. These restrictions can pose challenges for businesses and researchers working with extensive data.
The QUERY function, on the other hand, is designed to find, filter, and manipulate data based on multiple criteria. The IMPORTRANGE function allows you to work with data stored in a different Google Sheet.
