Excel Data type not refreshing

Question

Excel Data type not refreshing

Tony Elia 20

Excel Data type seems not working since a couple of days. When trying to refresh it says that there are temporary server problems...

I'm a subscriber in Italy.

Any workaround or action I need to apply to my system?

Any chance to know when the problem will be resolved?

Thanks

I tried on another PC and experiment the same problem...

The fact is that when I try to refresh a stock cell, Excel consistently answers with the folloing exact message, in both the PSs: "Si sono verificati problemi temporanei del server. Stiamo lavorando per risolverli".

So either of the two: 1) Excel message is not relvant; 2) There is a server problem that Microsoft is trying to resolve". In the second case, my question is if it is possible to know when the problem will be possibily resolved, or if I have any workeound to apply on my side.

This is a widely reported problem, many Excel users have been reporting this problem for a couple of days, however, the Microsoft Service Status website does not indicate that Microsoft is aware of it.

This forum is just a user to user forum, the best solution is to select the Help menu at the top of Excel, then choose 'Send feedback' and report this problem to the Office developers.

It sounds like you are experiencing issues with refreshing Excel Data types due to temporary server problems. Unfortunately, the context provided does not contain specific information about the current status of server issues or estimated resolution times for such problems.

As a workaround, you might consider checking your internet connection and ensuring that your Excel application is updated to the latest version. If the problem persists, you can try accessing the Excel file from a different device or network to see if the issue is specific to your current setup.

If you continue to face difficulties, it may be helpful to check the Microsoft 365 service health status page or reach out to Microsoft support for more detailed assistance regarding the server issues you are encountering.
