At MarketXLS, we have created a utility and template which takes and this input and turns yahoo portfolio into a portfolio analytics dashboard in your Excel using MarketXLS’s portfolio analytics functions.
A portfolio is essentially a range of cells that has the stocks in your portfolio and the corresponding proportion of stocks as shown below.
The total of all the weights in the portfolio should need to be 100% for these functions to work. These portfolio functions should work for all US & Canadian stocks and ETFs.
The range B3: C11 which is highlighted in the image below is what is the portfolio input.
We have a category for portfolio functions. You should see this in Excel’s functions browser.
In all MarketXLS portfolio functions, a portfolio range is the first and the only required input. The default time period we use for all our calculations is 12 months and all the results are calculated with monthly returns. The number of periods can be modified by providing an optional integer value after the portfolio as shown below.
=monthlyReturns(“Portfolio Range”,18) will return monthly returns for 18 months.
We would recommend downloading the presentation for these functions and further details around calculations and inputs to these functions.
