Common Questions

1. Why am I getting "NA" as a result?

   • You may have entered an invalid symbol, or your MarketXLS subscription may be inactive or expired.

2. How often is the average volume updated?

   • Data is fetched from MarketXLS and generally updated on a daily basis, reflecting the prior day’s closing data.

3. Can I specify a custom date range?

   • This particular function does not allow custom date ranges, as it automatically spans the last 365 days. For custom periods, explore other MarketXLS functions that accept start and end dates.
