What is the name of the cell in stock into which type it in data get entered?
Answers
Answer:
You can get stock and geographic data in Excel. It's as easy as typing text into a cell, and converting it to the Stocks data type, or the Geography data type. These two data types are considered linked data types because they have a connection to an online data source. That connection allows you to bring back rich, interesting information that you can work with and refresh.

Note: The Stocks and Geography data types are only available to Worldwide Multi-Tenant clients (standard Microsoft 365 accounts).
Stocks
Column A contains company names and icons, Column B contains Price values, and Column C contains Change values
In the picture above, the cells with company names in column A contain the Stocks data type. You know this because they have this icon: Linked record icon for Stock . The Stocks data type is connected to an online source that contains more information. Columns B and C are extracting that information. Specifically, the values for price, and change in price are getting extracted from the Stocks data type in column A.

Geography
Column A contains icons and country names, Column B contains Population values, and Column C contains Gasonline Prices
In this example, column A contains cells that have the Geography data type. The Linked record icon for Geography icon indicates this. This data type is connected to an online source that contains more information. Columns B and C are extracting that information. Specifically, the values for population, and gasoline price are getting extracted from the Geography data type in column A.
Type some text in cells. If you want stock information, type a ticker symbol, company name, or fund name into each cell. If you want geographic data, type a country, province, territory, or city name into each cell.
Then select the cells.
Although it's not required, we recommend creating an Excel table. Later on, this will make extracting online information easier. To create a table, go to Insert > Table.
With the cells still selected, go to the Data tab, and then click either Stocks or Geography.
If Excel finds a match between the text in the cells, and our online sources, it will convert your text to either the Stocks data type or Geography data type. You'll know they're converted if they have this icon for stocks: Linked record icon for Stock and this icon for geography: Linked record icon for Geography
Select one or more cells with the data type, and the Insert Data button Add Column button will appear. Click that button, and then click a field name to extract more information. For example, for stocks you might pick Price and for Geography you might pick Population.
Click the Insert Data button again to add more fields. If you're using a table, here's a tip: Type a field name in the header row. For example, type Change in the header row for stocks, and the change in price column will appear.
Note: If you see Question mark icon instead of an icon, then Excel is having a hard time matching your text with data in our online sources. Correct any spelling mistakes and when you press Enter, Excel will do its best to find matching information. Or, click Question mark icon and a selector pane will appear. Search for data using a keyword or two, choose the data you want, and then click Select.
Whenever you want to get current data for your data types, right-click a cell with the linked data type and select Data Type > Refresh. That will refresh the cell you selected, plus any other cells that have that same data type.
