I'm trying to access stock pricing in excel. I keep getting a message that "Our Server is temporarily having problems." Is there a fix underway?

Hi @Macha, Mark,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Thank you for reaching out regarding the error message you’re seeing in Excel when trying to access stock pricing. I understand how important this feature is for your work, and I appreciate your patience.

This appears to be an incident affecting Excel’s Stock Data feature, as one user have reported similar issues on the Microsoft Q&A forum through this thread: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5689559/stockhistory-formula-in-excel-stopped-w….

Currently, there is no service health advisory posted in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, which means the issue may still be under investigation.

Based on the latest comment in the thread, you may wait a few hours and try again, as this issue could be temporary.

Alternatively, you can report this incident through Microsoft 365 Admin Center (requires admin privileges). Reporting the issue will allow Microsoft Support to track and prioritize it for your organization.

If you are not an admin for your tenant, please contact your IT administrator to complete these steps on your behalf. When multiple tenants submit reports, Microsoft can prioritize and publish an update more quickly.
