How to Use: To use the Last Price function, enter the formula '=LastPriceRealTime("Symbol")' into a cell in Excel. Replace "Symbol" with the stock ticker for which you want to fetch the last traded price. The function will return the most recent price available within the 15-minute delay.

Tips and Best Practices:
