Description Joel Madero 2020-02-08 21:39:17 UTC 
Description:
Asked over on ask.libreoffice.org months ago about whether it's possible to pull stock quotes. No responses. Lots of google searches leave me thinking it's not possible (surprised...).

Looks like Excel has added a "stock" data type which appears quite useful for financial tasks one might do with a spreadsheet: https://www.excel-university.com/articles/cal-cpa/get-current-and-historical-stock-prices-into-excel/

Request:

Add ability to set a cell to "stock" and then pull relevant data (current price, past closing, etc...) from useful sites such as yahoo finance, msn finance, bloomberg, etc...

Actual Results:
No ability to pull stock ticker information. 

Expected Results:
Add feature to allow pulling stock ticker information from financial websites.


Reproducible: Always
