Stock quotes from Refinitiv stopped working, any alternatives?

Hi, I've noticed that after March 3rd update to 16.95 on Mac my stock quotes from Refinitiv stopped working. There is no "stock" data type in the ribbon. Same thing with online app. Did you notice this? Are there any alternatives for stock quotes to this data type that gets data from Refinitiv

    Some users have reported that after updating to Excel for Mac version 16.95, the "Stock" data type—powered by Refinitiv—has disappeared from the ribbon, affecting both the desktop and web versions of Excel. This issue seems to be linked to the update itself. Some users have found that rolling back to an earlier version, such as 16.71, restores the missing functionality.

    If reverting to an earlier version isn't feasible, here are some alternative methods to retrieve stock quotes in Excel, here is one of them.

    As a workaround, you can use Excel's web query feature to import stock data from websites like Yahoo Finance. By setting up a watchlist on Yahoo Finance and linking its URL to Excel, you can fetch the latest stock prices. While this method may require some initial setup, it provides a flexible solution for retrieving stock data.
