Excel Formula Reference: Stock Options

Excel Price Feed provides full access to the options data that is available on Yahoo Finance. The formulas below are for a single option, the Add-in also provides access to options chain data.

You can use the standard Excel Price Feed formulas such as EPF.Yahoo.Price and EPF.Yahoo.DayChange etc. with option tickers. Please see the Yahoo Finance Excel Formulas page for more details.

In addition, there are some formulas which are specific to options. All of these formulas require just an options contract name, for example: =EPF.Yahoo.ExpireDate("AAPL200131C00320000")

Formula	Description
EPF.Yahoo.Ask	Current ask price.
EPF.Yahoo.Bid	Current bid price.
EPF.Yahoo.ExpireDate	The expiry date of the option.
EPF.Yahoo.Strike	The strike price of the option.
EPF.Yahoo.OpenInterest	Total open interest for the option.
EPF.Yahoo.UnderlyingTicker	The underlying ticker of the option contract.

Option Tickers/Symbols

Excel Price Feed also provides a very useful formula for constructing option tickers / symbols.

An option ticker is made up of four parts:

• Underlying ticker/symbol.
• Expiry date of the option.
• Type: Put or Call
• Strike price

And these four parts are the parameters fot the EPF.OptionTicker formula:

=EPF.OptionTicker(stockTicker,optionType,expiryDate,strikePrice)

The input parameters required are:

Parameter	Description
Ticker	The ticker for the instrument, eg "APPL" or "SPY".
Option Type	Put or Call. Can be "Put" or "P" or "Call" or "C".
Expiry Date	The expiry date of the option.
Strike Price	The strike price of the option.

For example, say we are interested in an Apple 17 Jun 2022 Put at 155 strike. We can use this formula to construct the ticker/symbol:

=EPF.OptionTicker("AAPL","Put","17 Jun 2022",155)
