Spreadsheet, call up Symbols directly, no Chart

Hello,

I would like to track just the "last price" of 50+ symbol in a spreadsheet and consolidate the data to process. I've done this by creating a separate chart for each symbol and then using the first chart to overlay all the other symbols on. Then I add a Spreadsheet study and do the calculations. This is very cumbersome and slows the software and PC down a lot as there is a lot of data that I don't need being created (Open, High Low, Volume, HLC Average etc). I've looked a the documentation but can't find a simplified way to do this. Is is possible to call up "just" the "last price" of the symbols directly in the spreadsheet without creation of the charts, the Overlay and additional superfluous data?

Many thanks

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I didn't explain that I need a couple of days worth of 15 second Last price data for each of the 50 symbols. The Quote Spreadsheet organizes the Symbols in a rows, so it's not possible to create a progressive time line of price. I don't see how that can work with Quote Spreadsheets. Can you please elaborate?
Cheers

OK therefore you need to use the method you currently are.

Just keep the Number of Rows setting with the Spreadsheet study to the minimum you need:
