Building a Basic Custom Search Engine in Google Sheets

$

I am creating a small finical analysis spreadsheet in Google sheets. I would like to be able to type in a stock ticker, and have whatever ticker in that cell, be inserted into a URL, which will then search for that ticker. I have no issue using the =IMPORTHTML function, however it is currently being used like this:

=IMPORTHTML("https://money.cnn.com/quote/financials/financials.html?symb= INSERT SYMBOL HERE &dataSet=CFS", "table")

Where I have written "insert symbol here" is where any ticker can go to be searched, but I do not know how to make it search for whatever is in a specific cell. For example if I type my ticker in A1, how can I make it search for whatever is written in there.

I have tried something that looks like:

"https://money.cnn.com/quote/financials/financials.html?symb="A1"&dataSet=CFS"

However, that did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
