Stock Data Type do not refresh in web excel

Question

Stock Data Type do not refresh in web excel

Sergei Overko 0

Hi,

Excel desktop is working fine. Stock Data Type is refreshed automatically and every 5 mins. As expected.

I read that Excel on the web should have exactly the same Refresh option. But it does not have it anymore.

When I right click on the Stock Data Type cell Data Type popup menu only has Convert to Text option. No Refresh or any other options. Data tab -> Refresh All does not refresh Stock Data Type Price. I had to open Excel for Desktop to refresh it.

I would like to see refreshed stock price on mobile phone. Are there any options? Besides using Google Sheets?

Thanks!

Hi @Sergei Overko,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on my testing environment, when opening Excel via the web version, there are two options available: Refresh Settings and Convert to Text.

You can click Refresh Settings > Refresh All to refresh the data.

If you do not see these options, please try opening Excel Online in an incognito browser. At the same time, disable browser extensions such as AdBlock, VPN, 1.1.1.1, etc.

Regarding the question: Is there a way to refresh Stock data on mobile devices? At the moment, Excel on mobile (including iOS and Android) does not support refreshing Stock data.

I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this.

Thanks for quick reply.

I have tried it in both Edge and Chrome. InPrivate Edge and Incognito Chrome. On Windows 11. I do not see Refresh Settings option. From watching youtube I see there used to be Refresh and Refresh Settings in that menu. And it was on Excel Desktop and Web Excel. I see both options in Desktop Excel but none on the web

Hi @Sergei Overko,

Thank you for your response.

Please try the following keyboard shortcut:

Ctrl + Alt + F5

If the refresh process works, you will see a notification displayed at the bottom.

I've tried Ctrl + Alt + F5 shortcut. Refreshing Data... text blinks for just a fraction of a second. I also see Refresh All and Refresh in the toolbar under Data tab. But none of these methods refresh the stock data type. Just to test: I have BTC/CAD in the Data Type cell. This one changes even on the weekend. I try to refresh it in web Excel - cell value does not change. As soon as I open this file in the desktop Excel. The file is in OneDrive - the DataType.Price cell value changes. And all the browser web Excel windows are refreshed right away. But I have to keep desktop Excel open.
