Auto-Refresh STOCKS in Excel | Pull Live Stock Data in Excel | New Feature
Posted on: 04/12/2022
The STOCKS data type in Microsoft Excel required manual refresh until now. A new feature released for Microsoft Excel on Desktop for Windows, Mac as well as Excel on the Web, fixes that problem, by allowing you pull almost live stock data into Excel.

Stock data type Refresh every 5 minutes
In this video, I show you how to add various STOCKS to your spreadsheet, how to configure which columns you can see (such as price, last trade time, etc.) and also demonstrate how to enable this new feature, to Refresh Stocks quotes every 5 minutes or when you open the worksheet again.
