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!

    Does anyone here know of a way to find which stock cells are not working?  I have a excel file with tens of thousands of lines, so it's too hard for me to manually look thru it to find which stock cells are triggering the error.

    Had exact same issue until a few minutes ago.

    Delisted stock for me.  Specifically, FIT (Fitbit which was consumed by the Googles)

    Got rid of the FIT symbol data connections and bam, everything is fine.

    Hope that helps.

    Solved it: One or some of the stocks are delisted from the NYSE or NASDAQ

    JUST delete the stock from your list (or remove the "STOCK" attribute from that cell)
