How to use this mutual fund tracker Excel workbook?
- Download and save the file to a folder on your computer (do not leave it in the downloads folder)
- Open the file in Excel (you need Excel 2016 / Office 365 to use this file. If you are using older version of Excel, you need free Power Query add-in)
- If prompted, enable “External connections”
- Go to Data and click on Refresh all
- This will fetch updated funds list and latest NAV (Net Asset Value) from AMFI India website.
- On the My Funds page, specify the funds you own, units, purchase price and purchase date
- The tracker will calculate your return, CAGR (Compounded annual growth rate of funds) and simple return of your portfolio and display it
- When you want to see updated value of your portfolio, simply refresh the tracker (Data > Refresh All or press CTRL+ALT+F5)
How this mutual fund tracker is made?
We will use 3 simple excel features to achieve this – Power Query, Cascading Drop downs and vlookup()
- First, lets put a tabular format for our portfolio: We can have fund name, # of units, purchase NAV (Net Asset Value, the cost of unit for your when you bought it), purchase date, total value at purchase (units * purchase NAV), current NAV (we will pull this data from internet), value as of now (units * current NAV), Profit / loss amount and profit / loss % as our table columns. Once you learn how to do this, you can add more columns depending on what / how you want to track your MF portfolio.When you finish creating the table, it would look something like this:
- Next we will use Power Query to automatically fetch the funds and latest fund value from AMFI website. This site maintains updated funds and values and publishes the list as TXT file at URL- https://www.amfiindia.com/spages/NAVAll.txt We can connect to this page as web URL from PQ and setup some simple rules to clean the data and extract the relevant bits we need. The result looks like this in Power Query editor.
- Once we load this data to Excel, we can build a simple 2 level cascading drop-down system to capture details on the “my funds” page. That way, our drop down will be small and easy to use. Please read cascading drop downs page for details on how to do this.
- Finally, based on the fund name, we fetch the NAV and NAV date using, you guessed it – VLOOKUP formula. The rest is easy to calculate.
- Now as you input fund names and refresh data, your portfolio gets updated.
Few ideas on how you can enhance this:
- Add graphs to see visually how the funds are doing
- Build some VBA to store previous NAV values of your funds so that you can see historical dates
Problems with MF Tracker?
- I cannot refresh data: You need internet connection. You also need Power Query for Excel (this is available by default in Excel 2016 or above, Office 365. If you have an older version of Excel, download Power Query add-in for free.
- I see some error during download / refresh: The AMFI people have been inconsistent with their file formatting. It could be a weekly issue (ie every Friday they might be publishing some extra data.) Try again in a day or two. If the problem persists, post a comment so I can suggest a work around.
- Some other problem: Please post a comment so I can look in to this for you.

Hi Chandoo,
your recent postings include only Excel 2007 templates. Unfortunately the company I work at still runs Excel 2003. Is it possible to get your awesome files in other excel version as well?
Thanks so much for your great excel stuff!
Is it possible to do this for shifts with hours instead of days? To organise a three shift day?
Thanks in advance,
Stelios
In my organization there are 45 employees i need split then into three shifts ex:A shift:14,B shift:14,C shift:14 and week off:3 kindly help me on this.
@Masthan
You need to understand what rules your company has for the various shifts / roster combinations
Chandoo, I once did a shift control spreadsheet for my team. I put one person in each line, the columns were the days. I put a shift code in each cell indicating in which shift that person should work, or if the person were out that day. I have two codes for being out. One is for vacations and one is to compensate days worked in weekends. This way I was able to count how many persons I have in each shift, how many were on vacations and how many were out compensating (that's the term we use here) weekend worked hours.
Later I included the possibility of a person be in two lines one for normal hours other for overtime. This is mainly used for planning purposes. If you would like I can send you an example. The only problem of this spreadsheet is that we don't have a person view, only this consolidated view.
Hi George, I would like to have a copy of your spreadsheet if you can share it.
Thanks in advance, Chuck
Hi Chandoo,
Where is the code located ? is it VBA ? If so , how do you hide it ? Or it is .NET ?
Thx
@Idan
.
No VBA or code, it is all done with Mirrors.
Only Joking,
.
But there is no VBA or code,
It is all done with Named Formulas and Lookups.
Have alook at the cells in the calander area and Named Formulas in the Formulas, Name Manager Tab.
How can i calculate between two or more different workbooks? Please, reply me as early as possible.
@Anand
Open the workbooks you want to link to
Start a formula = and click and change between workbooks as required.
You can use the View, Switch window menu to change workbooks mid formula
The format for using workbooks is
=[Workbook.xlsm]Sheet1!$A$1
or
=SUM('[Book2.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$D$10)
etc

What's FortyTwoDays and Calendar in Name manager?
Both are unused and FortyTwoDays doesn't make any sense.
I have a SQL db that contains records of events scheduled/completed on a particular date. Can this method ous building a calendar be used to display those events on the respective day?
Positively awesome!

Dear chandoo,
Try many way to download still can't access. Any way we want to try out 3 shifts with 3 guys in a group .eg Group A Morn, Group B Night and Group C Rest. And every each group must work on sunday to take turns. In fact we are security teams so that's why sunday is required to work. Pls guide and show how to put in the working calendar. Thank you in advance.
I've been trying to copy and/or recreate this to use in a workbook I'm doing for the transportation department I'm working for. I need to have the calendar on the first sheet in my document (it has graph's from data on another sheet). I'm trying to use it to track (with the conditional formatting) accidents and injuries. I've redone the conditional formatting to do 4 different accident types (no injury, near miss, OSHA recordable injury and work loss injury), but when I enter the formula's you have in the calendar portion where it says "DateOfFirst-FirstWeekDay" I can't figure out how you did that. Are you able to help?
I would like to use Excel to solve the following problem for a community work. I want to create a Driver schedule for a given month from a pool of volunteers for a community service. Each of these volunteers can drive only on specific days in a week. I would like to populate the driving schedule for each weekday with primary, secondary and tertiary drivers in a random fashion so that I do not overburden one person. I would greatly any help you can provide.
