This application is a stock comparison dashboard that is linked directly to the Google Stocks API. The data for each stock is imported into separate worksheets so that the end-user is not bogged down with all of the numerical information. This information is then transfered to the Google Stocks API where it is turned into a Flash and JavaScript based chart that is entirely interactive and rendered in the dashboard. Users can highlight certain areas of the chart and zoom in on certain timeframes if necessary which makes it incredibly easy to navigate. Through the use of SpreadsheetWEB’s web service support, it becomes possible to actually import real-time stock data into the spreadsheet from any stock tracking API. The data can then seamlessly update in real-time, updating the data as frequently as necessary.
The converted Excel file can be found here. More information on the Google Stocks API can be found here.
