Common Questions and Troubleshooting

• “Why do I sometimes get ‘NA’ as a result?”
This usually happens if data for your specified symbol/period is not available or if the ticker is invalid. Check your spelling, market coverage, or date range.

• “Can I use a different quarter without specifying TTM?”
Yes, simply include the quarter parameter: =hf_Cash_from_disc._financing_activities("AAPL", 2021, "3"). Leaving TTM blank returns only that quarter’s data.

• “Is this data always up-to-date?”
MarketXLS regularly updates its data. However, if a company has only recently announced financials or revised statements, there might be a delay. You can refresh or recalculate for the latest values.

• “What if I need older historical data?”
The function supports multiple years, but availability depends on data coverage. If the data is outside the provided range, the function may return "NA."
