Crypto Sheets

This is a (javascript-based) tool to aid in creating your own crypto tracking spreadsheet. It can automagically pull in current cryptocurrency rates, as well as your wallet balances. It requires the use of Google Sheets and its built-in script editor.

If you want a better understanding of how it works and have no programming experience, it’s never too late to learn. Take a free course at Codecademy and flex your brain 💪🎆. Programming can open doors for you, no matter your occupation.
