Fix Excel STOCK Function Cannot Find NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE)
Question details
The user is unable to retrieve financial data for NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) using the built-in Stocks data type in Excel.
- Product
- Microsoft Excel
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Tracking stock prices in an Excel spreadsheet using the Stocks data type, specifically for the Nasdaq-listed ticker NNE.
- Observed behavior
- Excel's Stocks data type recognizes some ticker symbols but fails to find or return data for NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE).
Ensure you have a stable internet connection and an active Microsoft 365 subscription, as the Stocks data type relies on an online third-party financial service to fetch live security data.
Use Specific Exchange Prefixes and Refresh Data
Help Excel locate the correct security by specifying the stock exchange, and refresh the data connection to resolve temporary syncing issues.
Excel's Stocks data is provided by a third-party financial data source. Newly listed companies or certain specific securities might not be immediately synced to Excel's database. Providing the exact exchange code can sometimes force the data type to locate the correct ticker.
Instead of typing just 'NNE', type 'XNAS:NNE' (for Nasdaq) in the cell to help Excel disambiguate the ticker symbol.
Select the cell, go to the 'Data' tab on the ribbon, and click on 'Stocks' in the Data Types group.
If the symbol is still not found, go to the 'Data' tab and click 'Refresh All' to force Excel to ping the financial data provider for the latest updates.
Import Stock Data from a Web Query
Bypass the built-in Stocks data type limitation by directly pulling live pricing data from a financial website into your spreadsheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some stock tickers missing from Excel's Stocks data type?
Excel relies on a third-party financial data provider to supply its Stocks data type. If the provider does not track a specific security, or if the company recently went public (like NNE), it may not be available in Excel's database immediately.
How can I force Excel to update its stock data?
Navigate to the 'Data' tab on the Excel ribbon and click 'Refresh All'. This action forces Excel to reach out to the online data provider and update all linked data types and external connections in your workbook.
Does adding the stock exchange prefix help Excel find the ticker?
Yes, Excel can sometimes struggle to disambiguate similar tickers. Typing the exchange abbreviation followed by a colon and the ticker (for example, typing 'XNAS:NNE' for Nasdaq) can help the Stocks data type locate the exact security.
Can I track NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) without using the built-in Stocks data type?
Yes, you can track it manually by using the 'Get Data from Web' feature in Excel. This allows you to pull live pricing tables from financial news websites like Yahoo Finance directly into your spreadsheet.
