Microsoft Excel offers real-time stock market data

Buzz

A year ago, Microsoft introduced Stocks - a cloud-connected data type in Excel, offering an easier way to gather information about any type of stock, including price, fluctuations, currency, and more, without leaving the app to search externally. Now, Microsoft announces a new collaboration with Nasdaq and financial market data provider Refinitiv to expand the functionality of Stocks data type.

With real-time data from these two companies, Excel allows you to easily track the latest stock prices, trading volumes, and other financial information. As part of the expansion plan, Excel also supports a wider range of data, including cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, bonds, international currencies, price information across multiple hours, last trade times, and 52-week highs/lows.

Our collaboration plan with Microsoft is a significant step towards bringing essential market information to individual investors. Microsoft's focus on providing services for individuals aligns perfectly with our mission to make the financial market more comprehensive.'

The enhanced stock data type is now available, and Microsoft promises that more new features will be introduced to users in the future. The company states that Excel will quickly access financial history information as well as automatically update stock prices every few minutes.

Another piece of information from Microsoft is that Skype now supports screen sharing feature on Android & iOS, allowing users to make calls and share videos simultaneously on the same screen. For more information, read the article Skype supports screen sharing feature on Android & iOS here.
