External Data Refresh Failed

Anonymous

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!

    This is a great way to find the faults. I had two stocks which were delisted. I found them both and now I am error free. I have hundreds of queries in my spreadsheet!

    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.

    I agree.  I found that posting above (the one that suggested that we report this issue to this team and to that team) to be aggravating and ridiculous.  It was so convoluted and ridiculous.  Microsoft should assign the problem to the appropriate team, not have us do that leg work for them.
