Common Questions and Troubleshooting

1. Why am I seeing “NA”?
   • The ticker symbol may be invalid, or the data is not currently available.
   • Ensure that your MarketXLS license is valid, as an invalid license also returns “NA.”
   • The API may not have data for certain lesser-known or delisted stocks.

2. Why do I see “Refreshing”?
   • MarketXLS might be in the process of updating or retrieving fresh data for the symbol you entered.
   • Try the function again shortly; once updated, MarketXLS will return the actual value.

3. Do I need special permissions or a specific data plan?
   • Generally, a valid MarketXLS subscription is sufficient. Check your specific plan to make sure you have access to analyst estimates data.

4. Can I use this function for global tickers?
   • Yes, provided MarketXLS supports the exchanges in question. If the data is unavailable, the function returns “NA.”
