Did you know that you can get it instantly with the help of Google Drive or Google Docs?

  1. Open http://drive.google.com in your browser. Sign in with your Google account.
  2. Hit the create button present in the left and click on Spreadsheet.

    =ImportHtml("http://www.sharesansar.com/today.php?"& minute(now()),"table",1)
    or

  1. Click on an empty table and begin by typing =.
  2. Click on the Column that says Closing Price and the Row that corresponds to the share price of Agriculture Development Bank Limited.

  3. In another column input the total number of shares that you have.
  4. Repeat the process for the shares of other companies. In this example it is Century Bank.
  5. Then multiply the share price with total shares and extract their sum.
