I have been using the stocks data types feature on Excel without any issues until yesterday. However, I'm now receiving the following error message:

"You need to sign in with an account associated with a subscription to use these data types. Select "Sign in" at the top of Excel."

Excel-Error1

I've tried signing out and back in to Excel, restarting my laptop, and updating to the latest version (Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO, Version 2306 Build 16.0.16529.20164 64-bit). However, I'm still encountering the same error.

Can anyone explain why this error is occurring, and suggest how to resolve this issue? Any guidance would be appreciated.

    I have the same exact issue since yesterday. I've been trying all types of solutions I found on the internet like signing in and out, also with a restart between those two actions. I already fully uninstalled my Office 365 and installed it again. I updated it Office 365. Nothing seemed to work.

    What I noticed is that when I log in with my work account, I don't get this issue.

    This would suggest that there is a difference between 365 personal and 365 enterpise?

    Same Issue!

    I can't believe I just spent 2 hours horsing around with this crap, and it's not even something I'm doing wrong.

    'TF?!
