    It is available only for the subscription model (Office 365) Excel data types: Stocks and geography - Office Support (microsoft.com)

    Excel 2019 is not updated with new functionality, you need to wait for coming Excel 2021 and purchase the upgrade. But Excel 2021 also will be with "fixed" functionality till next Excel 2023 or so.

    If you'd like to have latest Excel functionality it's better to shift on subscription model.

      It is not in my Excel 2021 version. I customized the ribbon to add a new group Data Types but the choice is grayed / unavailable. Wonder if I need to turn on something but can't find what.

      The data type I want is stock prices. Interestingly, Google includes the function GOOGLEFINANCE() in GoogleSheets which is free.   Unfortunately, I know Excel and not sure I want to learn Sheets.

         Please see attached images for the data tab and the excel version number.

      but before updating, I was using that stock feature continuously for 5-6 days after purchasing office 2019
