Microsoft excel stock data not updating today, May 16th, is this a know issue?

Reports sent in via Menu Bar > Help > Feedback > Report a Problem go directly to the Mac Excel team. Each and every report is read by a human and logged into a database.

The urgency for a fix depends on several factors.

1. Quantity - the more reports, the higher up the bug fix ladder it goes
2. Impact - If users explain how the problem affects their business and workflow and explain how critical it is the problem be resolved promptly, it can boost the problem's importance and Microsoft's efforts to quickly resolve the problem.

It's not likely that individual reports will be responded to directly by Microsoft. That will happen only if they can't reproduce the issue. In this case, it's pretty clear what the problem is.

I'll show you something funny. AI trawls the internet, found this thread and copies what I said on this forum. So it's not intelligent at all - it just looks for a consensus view and parrots it. So not intelligence at all. I already knew this and I'm sure plenty of other people do as well - but there'd be a lot of ignorant people who think it really is intelligent.

At any rate, it says the way to report it is on a forum lol. It's actually correct because there's no way to report it via excel and know that something is going to be done about it IN A TIMELY FASHION...

Also although it's Excel's issue in the sense that the functionality is broken, it's actually due to a third party so they (Microsoft) do need to contact that third party.

Ok, well I get your point but reporting the problem isn't exactly interactive help from Microsoft is it? They need to fix this like ASAP and you only get that assurance from speaking to someone,

Where's the "speak to someone" button lol - being sarcastic.

Hi Chris,

This is a user-to-user forum, not a user-to-Microsoft forum.

The way to tell Microsoft's Excel team that there is a problem they need to address is to use the Menu Bar and choose Help > Feedback > Report a Problem. Using this methods sends data about the state of Excel on your Mac., including country information.

There's certainly nothing wrong with sharing your experiences here, but no one in this forum can do anything about Microsoft support or can send the report to Microsoft from your Mac. That's something only you can do.
