Hello, good night! I'm new here so I beg your pardon if you haven't posted in the right place. I come here by indication of Microsoft Support by phone. According to the service, I was asked to send my question here so that it could be answered with absolute certainty by the professional team.

My question is related to the use of financial stock data. I use Microsoft Excel to create spreadsheets (fully copyrighted) to make life easier for those who work in the Financial Market. In this sense I use formulas to import the financial market quote data, I believe they are imported from Refinitiv.

My question is:

Can I sell the spreadsheets I develop (they are personal authored) even using the functions that import the quote data?

Ps. As I explained in the phone service, I understand that Microsoft has no responsibility for the operation of the data, which is my responsibility. But I wonder if I can sell my spreadsheet without problems in the sense of breaking some law or rule.

Thank you so much for your attention and i wish you all Peace and Harmony. ❤

    @Catherine Frizzo

    Welcome to Q&A forum.

    Tag "office-excel-itpro" focuses on general issues about Excel clients.
    Based on your description, your issue is out of the scope of the tag and is not supported on the Q&A forum.
    I will modify the tag to be "not-supported".

    Thanks for your understanding.
