• Your MarketXLS license plan may not support certain data points.

3. How does the function handle performance?

This function typically retrieves data in real time or from cached sources. For large spreadsheets or repeated calls, MarketXLS caching improves performance, but consider limiting recalculations if speed is crucial.
