The two big stock exchanges in the United States are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq. Why does Google recommend this? There are rare cases where different exchanges may have the same symbols for different securities, and if you exclude the exchange from the ticker, the GOOGLEFINANCE function will simply make its best guess about which one you want. Conversely, Google stock trades on the Nasdaq exchange, so you would write =GOOGLEFINANCE("NASDAQ:GOOG") to get real time price data on Google stock, though =GOOGLEFINANCE("GOOG") also works just fine. This means that while you can simply write =GOOGLEFINANCE("CRM") to get real time stock data on Salesforce stock it will work, but it's recommended that you instead write =GOOGLEFINANCE("NYSE:CRM") because Salesforce stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange. The official Google Sheets documentation recommends including the exchange symbol of the ticker you wish to analyze, though it is not required.
