Stock Price Function
I've used the "Stocks" Data Feature in the past. This is missing from Excel on my new Surface. It still works on an old desktop I have but not on my new Surface. I would expect more features, not less! If I need a different version of Excel, how do I manage that from O365?
Does anyone know how to fix this?

My stock button and all the stock functions disappeared on March 31. The prices froze from that day, and it won't update. The data tab looks different and doesn't have the data types box at all which has the stock button. Typing in stocks doesn't work either. Reinstall and repair didn't work. It works in a new profile account if I create one, but doesn't carry over to my main account. It works properly in excel online too, just not mine on my account.
- I think this is what you're asking, right?
Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2211 Build 16.0.15831.20098) 64-bitI guess this build belongs to retail version of Office 2021. You may check on same page (File->Account) on the top under Product information. It says is that subscription product and which one; or product activated and which one.
If not subscription version is installed, Stocks is not available.
However, if you have 365 subscription and it allows to install Office on up to 5 devices, you may download and install subscription version of the Office instead of 2021. If subscription allows only one installation - no way, only to upgrade your subscription.
