Financial models with live formulas in Google Sheets

Reading time: 7 min Updated: July 5, 2026

1. Real-time data

GOOGLEFINANCE brings prices, exchange rates and market data. Use it to value portfolios, index budgets or recalculate margins with the current currency.

2. Formulas that expand

ARRAYFORMULA and QUERY turn data sheets into dynamic models: add a row and the model picks it up without dragging formulas.

3. Real data inside the model

The final leap is bringing your actual accounting into the model. By syncing QuickBooks with Sheets, the model mixes assumptions with real data effortlessly.
