How to get Historical NSE Stock Data
Getting historical NSE stock data in Excel or Google Sheets isn't that easy. However, with the right tool, you can get all the historical data you need on your spreadsheet immediately.
The best way to do this is to use Wisesheets. You can get your free account here.
Once you have an account, you can get NSE historical stock data by entering the ticker of the company you'd like to get data for followed by the extension ".NS", then by selecting whether you'd like annual or quarterly data. For example, if you'd like to get annual data from the company Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. you need to enter the ticker TI.NS and then click on get data. This will return all the financial statements, key metrics, and growth metrics for that company going back up to 19 years.
Getting all the stock data at once from NSE companies is often tedious and if you are looking for specific data to build a screener or DCF model you can use the =WISE function.
The function accepts the following arguments:
=WISE(ticker, parameter, year/period, [quarter])
For the tickers available be sure to use this list. Keep in mind you need to enter the ticker followed by ".NS"
The list of parameters includes everything in the financial statements, key metrics, and growth metrics which you can see here.
As for the period you can select either a specific year like 2021, “TTM” (which returns the results from the sum of the last 4 quarters), “LY” (Last Fiscal Year) or “LQ” (Last Fiscal Quarter).
Once you have a model set up using the function you can simply change the ticker and get all of the financial data you need at once without wasting any time copy-pasting financials from multiple websites.
Now you know how to get historical data for NSE stocks on Excel and Google Sheets. You can use historical data to build a valuation model or create historical comparisons for your investment thesis.
