Tutorial Steps:
1. Setting Up the Portfolio Tab:
- In the "Portfolio" tab, organize your data with sectors in column A, stock tickers in column B, quantity of stocks bought in column C, and the price per stock in column D.
- Use any sector names that suit your portfolio, such as financial, auto, IT, or FMCG.
2. Calculating Total Cost:
- In column E, create a formula to calculate the total cost for each stock. Multiply the price per stock by the quantity bought.
- Use the formula `=D2*C2` and drag it down to apply to all stocks.
3. Tracking Real-time Stock Prices:

- Format the formula as `=GOOGLEFINANCE(B2, "PRICE")`.
4. Calculating Current Stock Value:

- Use the formula `=F2*C2` and drag it down to apply to all stocks.
5. Analyzing Changes:
