Hi Pim, I’ve put something together here for you that should do what you’re looking for

It would require that the button runs a Scripting App though, which forces the sidebar to appear
script update field

Hi Pim,

You could use the button to run a script that makes an API call (using fetch) to a financial API like AlphaVantage and updates your cell with the response.

If you’re happy using a third-party app you could follow this video to use the Data Fetcher app:

Then follow this guide to run the request when a button is pressed.
