My google spreadsheet is using GOOGLEFINANCE('symbol','price) function to retrieve stock prices of my portfolio. Unfortunately, I have to refresh manually now. How can I make the spreadsheet refresh itself every 1 minute?
Thank you for your help.

Widgets powered by spreadsheets using the GOOGLEFINANCE function refresh approx. every 15 minutes. If this isn't fast enough for your needs – and your G Suite account allows it – you can write a script that can further reduce the refresh times.
Automatically refresh data at regular intervals Click a cell in the external data range. On the Data tab, in the Connections group, click Refresh All, and then click Connection Properties. Click the Usage tab. Select the Refresh every check box, and then enter the number of minutes between each refresh operation.
Sheets will update the data automatically at up to 1 hour intervals , using the IMPORTDATA() function, which is very similar to IMPORTRANGE(). To force a refresh of the data synced into Sheets, you can go to the cell in Sheets which has the formula, delete it, and then undo the change.
If you're on the New Google Sheets, this is all you need to do, according to the docs:
change your recalculation setting to "On change and every minute" in your spreadsheet at File > Spreadsheet settings.
This will make the entire sheet update itself every minute, on the server side, regardless of whether you have the spreadsheet up in your browser or not.
If you're on the old Google Sheets, you'll want to add a cell with this formula to achieve the same functionality:
=GoogleClock() EDIT to include old and new Google Sheets and change to =GoogleClock().
