Excel Data Types stopped working

Question

Hello,

I Have an Excel spreadsheet using Stock Data Types. It has been fine until yesterday when I now receive an error saying:

"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."

I have looked and I am logged into my Ofice 365 account.

Why am I now receiving these messages?

I am using

Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2306 Build 16.0.16529.20100) 64-bit

Thank you

Answer 3

Hello,

Thank you for coming to the forum. Many people are having this challenge, and it is an issue from Microsoft, and since it is general, we expect it to be resolved as soon as possible. As this service has been out since yesterday in some locations. You can try using the web (office.com) for now, it is working there.

I am not Microsoft, but they tend to not leave their services down for this long without resolving it. So this is an issue from Microsoft. We hope it will clear soon.

We are patiently waiting for Microsoft to clear this issue.

Best Regards Fuad
