Excel STOCKHISTORY() function repeatedly encounters #CONNECT! error.

Hi Team,

I spent over 2 hours troubleshooting this issue with an advocate in Office support (7*********0). He worked very hard to understand and resolve the issue.

We tried numerous resets: the network, uninstalling and reinstalling office, updating office, powering down, and restarting the computer. Nothing helped.

The issue occurs in approximately 20% of the values for a list of stocks and one date. It occurs in a similar percentage of dates for a single stock.

Ultimately we discovered that creating a new spreadsheet and typing or pasting the formula into an empty cell will not result in the #CONNECT! error. But this does not work in previously created spreadsheets.

Please check on this as soon as possible. This is a critical function for applying Excel to stock research.

    I manually did a separate update of Excel 365 on my Mac today - even though it is supposedly set for automatic updates. After that, for a while, the STOCKHISTORY function worked fine. Then it deteriorated again into the same #CONNECT!, #CALC!, #SPILL!, #UNKNOWN! and other #N/As as before, including the Alerts for lack of resources etc.

    On the phone waiting 45 minutes for Microsoft support but had to give up owing to work pressures.

    Hello

    I am getting exactly the same problem you described, this time is worst since the "not enough resources error window" keeps popping up and thus, cannot use the file.

    Did you notice whether an upgrade was installed? In my case, I restarted my computer and an upgrade did install, thus going back to the initial problem of all this happening after an upgrade.

    Microsoft, please help resolve this issue

    Thanks

    Mario
