Getting Started with the Google Sheets Add-in
The Dividend Data Google Sheets Add-in provides custom functions for fetching stock data directly into your spreadsheets. It includes tools for dividends, statements, metrics, ratios, growth, quotes, profiles, funds, segments, KPIs, commodities, and batch data.
How to Install
Early Access: Google Sheets
Install from the Google Workspace Marketplace:
β οΈ CRITICAL: Authorization Required
You must check all permission boxes when installing.
The add-on requires specific permissions to run calculations and display data in your spreadsheet. If you do not accept the authorization prompts, the add-on will not work.
Why? Google requires your explicit permission for us to fetch financial data from our servers and display it inside your sheet. If you leave boxes unchecked, you are blocking the add-on from accessing the spreadsheet to write the data you requested.
Step-by-Step Installation
Download: Click the link above to visit the Google Workspace Marketplace and click Install.
Authorize: When prompted, select your Google Account. You must verify/check ALL boxes to allow the add-on to function.
Launch: Open a Google Sheet. Go to Extensions > Dividend Data > Open Dividend Data Sidebar.
Note: If you do not see the menu, reload your browser tab.
Troubleshooting: Permission Denied or Not Working?
If you are getting errors immediately after installing, you likely missed an authorization checkbox.
