This is ongoing work. If you find errors, please do not hesitate to let me know. Feedback is very welcomed. A telegram chat is also available for support.

Thank you.

Annex: remarks Google sheet’s formula syntax :

In some countries like Italy and Russia, Google sheet’s formula syntax is done with semicolon ‘ ; ’ instead of the comma ‘ ,
If you get an error message from the formula, it might be the reason. In this case, the formula then becomes :

=GECKOPRICE(“BTC”;”USD”)
