It seems that the colon in the A1 cell below is confusing the function. It may think this is a range selector. How can I fix this function so it will work?
A1: NASDAQ:AAPL
=GoogleFinance(A1, "close", TODAY()-1, 1, 1)
This returns #N/A… If I hard-code the string “NASDAQ:AAPL” as parameter 1, it will work. If I use just AAPL in A1 it will work. In some cases, the exchange is required to make the symbol unique.
One possible reason is there are erroneous spaces in the cell (perhaps before or after the text).
Without such spaces, I can’t reproduce your error.
