Anyone else having a problem this morning with Excel Stock Price updates? This happened at year end 2025 and here we are again. The function is not working on Microsoft's side.

i am having the same issue as of noon central standard time on 1/23/2026. the odd thing, i don't see as many comments. early january everyone was commenting, so maybe we are the unlucky ones and on a bad server.
UPDATE: Seems to be updating now. Checked a few prices. Ctl-Alt-F5 did not return an error message. Still having an issue if I add a new Symbol though.
Did you try Ctl-Alt-F5? I'm getting some updates.
Seems to be not working again the past couple of days. Performance is spotty.
I would be willing to pay extra per month for a stable connection and faster automatic refresh (every 15 seconds instead of 5 minutes)
Yea it's not working for me. I am in Chicago (so people can view the time stamp of this message). It was spotty yesterday, right now nothing is updating.

This afternoon, 12 of 13 etf/mf symbols work fine with StockHistory function. One etf, VPL, fails consistently. Are there known problems in the data set?

Absolutely, I think they get notified automatically when this type of issue happens.
Yes Joe, I completely agree. At that time Teams were on vacation as there are minimal operations during holidays :)
Thanks...So is Microsoft looking into the issue?
Hi Joe,
No reports by other users yet. Since it is a weekday, hopefully in the next few hours it should be fixed.
I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
Otherwise, please take a moment to rate the answer. Wishing you good luck!

no we all have the same problem!!!
Last time this happened at the beginning of the year it took them 5 days to fix it
Been having the problem all day. On a positive note - it seems that some stocks are updating with PM and AH data - Kudos for that.

The problem is that comments are scattered over 4 or 5 posts. And that you made your reply at start of US trading day. As we get closer to end of the trading day you will find more and more upset customers.
I was told once that it helps if people coming along to view these click on the Vote button as that helps upgrade the post on MS's radar.
Please hit Vote on every post so that MS takes this seriously.
The issue you are experiencing with the Excel Stock Price function may be related to the RealTimeData (RTD) function improvements in Excel M365. In recent versions, Microsoft has made performance enhancements to the RTD function, which could affect how stock price updates are processed. If the function is not working, it could be due to temporary issues on Microsoft's side or specific settings in your Excel environment.
If you continue to face problems, consider checking for updates to your Excel version or reviewing any changes in your internet connection or Excel settings that might affect real-time data updates.
