Getting data from the plugin once installed

The formula is:

=SimFin(Company Ticker As String; Year As Integer; Period As String; Columname As String; API-key As String; [optional] ttm as String = "false"; [optional] asReported as String = "false")

To see the inputs in the formula, type "=simfin(" and then press Ctrl + Shift + a

So for example: =SimFin("AAPL"; 2020; "FY"; "Revenue"; "YOUR-API-KEY")

or if you want to retrieve TTM values for Q1 2020: =SimFin("AAPL"; 2020; "Q1"; "Revenue"; "YOUR-API-KEY"; "true")

Your API-key and more info (for example all available lien item names) can be found at https://app.simfin.com/excel
