Functions

The OpenBB Excel Add-in provides direct access to the OpenBB platform, where each function implements the following pattern:

  • OBB.[MENU].[SUB_MENU].[COMMAND]

:::tip Use the <TAB> key to autocomplete the function name after typing =OBB. :::

Examples:

  1. Getting balance sheet data for a stock:

    =OBB.EQUITY.FUNDAMENTAL.BALANCE("AAPL")
    
  2. Getting the latest news for a stock:

    =OBB.NEWS.COMPANY("AAPL")
    
  3. Getting the earnings calendar:

    =OBB.EQUITY.CALENDAR.IPO(;"2023-11-20")
    

:::tip If you want to skip a parameter use semi-colon (or comma depending on your number separator) without any value. In example iii. we are skipping the first parameter (symbol). :::
