Live Gold Price in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Track the spot price of gold from a cell. Returns live prices in any currency and unit, auto-refreshing — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

A live spot-price cell

Drop =VERVE("goldprice") into a cell and your model reads the current price on every refresh instead of a number you pasted last week.

Track a holdings sheet

Multiply your ounces by the live price cell and a portfolio sheet re-values itself automatically.

Chart the movement

Point a chart at the price cell and it redraws as the market moves — a live tracker, not a snapshot.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("goldprice", "field", "currency")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("goldprice", "field", "currency")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

currencyPremium
The currency to get the price in
=VERVE("goldprice", "currency", "USD")
hourlyPremium
Include hourly price data for the past 24 hours
=VERVE("goldprice", "hourly", "true")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Live Gold Price, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Live Gold Price into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("goldprice", "field", "gram") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Live Gold Price?

Live Gold Price returns gram, kilogram, ounce, lastUpdated and change24h, plus 1 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Live Gold Price returns?

Yes — Live Gold Price takes "currency" and "hourly" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("goldprice", "currency", "USD") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Which Live Gold Price fields need a paid plan?

change24hPct, high24h, low24h and formatted.ounce, plus 2 more are included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Can I fill a whole column of Live Gold Price at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell and one call returns a value for every row, or drag =VERVE("goldprice") down like any spreadsheet function.

How many credits does each Live Gold Price cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Live Gold Price work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
