Google Finance, in Google Sheets, works for US stocks but not others (for example UK).

US stock: msft

=GOOGLEFINANCE("msft","price") works

=GOOGLEFINANCE("msft","currency") works

UK stock: lon:barc

=GOOGLEFINANCE("lon:barc","price") works

=GOOGLEFINANCE("lon:barc","currency") does not work

Calling a non US stock, in this example, one from the London Stock Exchange, returns a #N/A error. With the error message "Function GOOGLEFINANCE parameter 2 value is invalid for the symbol specified".

According to the documentation

  1. parameter 1, is ticker
  2. parameter 2, is currency

The stock currency was working previously, but stopped working a while (over 6 months) ago and has never been fixed as far as I can tell.

Is there a fix for this problem?

  • Thank you for the comment. I have visited this page before, but do not see what is or is not supported on this page. Is there a page that clearly shows what is supported or a method to find this out (other than by inspection of each item) ?

  • Have you also viewed this link: Quotes are not sourced from all markets and may be delayed up to 20 minutes (it's included in the previous referred page)?

  • hi Ruben: No, I have not. But looking at this link, it does not relate to the quoted currency of the ticker (ie. GBP, USD. EUR etc...). It only refers to real-time pricing and the delays (minutes) which is not relevant to the solution.
