External Data Refresh Failed

Had no problems on an existing spreadsheet for months.  I am pulling in stock quotes.  Today I started getting this message:

External Data Refresh Failed  "We refreshed some of your data, but we couldn't refresh all of it because we changed or removed it on our side.  For data we can no longer refresh, we've kept the most recent results.

How do I fix it and how do I identify the cells that are not refreshing?  

Thank you!

    as an experiment, can you create a brand new excel document, and put in just one single stock name, ticker and price.  then click refresh.  do u get the error?

    Shamu - please see my previous post on trying to simplify this problem to single stocks, and minimum fields (ticker and price) - doesn't work.  MS needs to run through their test suite, the users shouldn't have to design and run tests for them.

    I am pulling stock prices only for ten stocks, and I am getting this error message every time I click refresh even though all ten stock are updating correctly on multiple sheets within the spreadsheet.
