Question: How may one pull data from a specific date in recent past? #14

The extension works well for me for pulling the data offered.

Is there a way to pull historical data to compare with the current data?

For example, I'm wanting to compare stock prices (current) to a specific date in the recent past (14 December 2020, or the closest trading day to it).

Historic data is only available from Yahoo. Check out the Readme and the examples for function GETHISTORIC. It takes a date as argument and it is your responsibility to define the "recent past" taking into account weekends and/or trading holidays.

Thank you, @cmallwitz . That's exactly what I was seeking. Much appreciated.
