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!

    in the simple worksheet that has only tickers and prices, does that document have cells that refer to cells from other documents?

    you get the error in all your documents that use stock data?

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

    Relatively simple.  Stock Name, Ticker and Price.  I do have different worksheets that have cells populate from the master sheet that fetches (or is supposed to anyway), the data.

    Are you just pulling stock prices, or are you pulling other things like: market capitalization, shares outstanding, etc.
