Hi,
since a few days I have issues with Excel 365. Above the grid it mentions "COULDN'T REFRESH DATA TYPES We need to fix your account. Select Microsoft Excel from the top menu > Sign Out. Then Sign back in with an account associated with a subscription." I have followed the instructions by signing out and then in again however it didn't resolve the issue and it repeats. I have been using Office 365 for many years and just recently the problem started. Now I can't refresh the data. I have checked my subscription and there seems nothing wrong with it and is all updated. Kindly assist me with this issue.

Good news: they fixed it. Just relaunch Excel.
Can Microsoft please improve its hopefully automated QA workflows to include testing for this behaviour in Excel for Mac?
Thank you for this, I appreciate the reply. It's amazing how MS can just take their sweet time on such obvious problems.
MacOS 13.1 on M1.
Excel version 16.69.
This problem has been around for several versions of Excel. When is MS going to wake up and do something about this? I have to switch to Apple's Numbers for the interim.
Excel 16.69
The problem is there ... I now have two Stocks, both don't work.. I have already reset excel preferences, both manually by removing all excel prefs files and through the App's Preferences.
Good Morning
I see that MS has released a new version of MS Office including Excel
January 10, 2023
Version 16.69 (23010700)
Wonder if anyone has tried it and if in excel the Data type refresh (stocks)
has been fixed and works ?
Thanks
