Common Questions

  1. What if the function returns "NA"?
    This typically happens when the symbol is invalid, your MarketXLS license is not valid for this data, or no data is available for the specified period.

  2. Is the data updated in real time?
    Historical data is pulled from MarketXLS’s servers, which are updated periodically. You don’t get tick-by-tick real-time data, but the function will provide the most recent historical updates available.

  3. Can I combine this with other financial metrics?
    Yes. For example, you can compare Additional Paid In Capital against historical revenue or net income to gauge financing compared to profitability trends.

  4. Does adding multiple formulas impact performance?
    Each call requests data from MarketXLS servers. While generally efficient, extensive usage might slow down recalculations. Consider using fewer calls or referencing data in helper cells.
