Troubleshooting
Data looks stale or outdated?
Templates contain a data snapshot from the time they were generated. Download a fresh template from the Downloads page to get the latest data.
Want current data?
Static Excel templates are great for analysis, but if you need current prices, use our web-based dashboards.
Template won't open?
Make sure you have Excel 2016 or later (Windows) or Excel 2019 or later (Mac). You can also import the .xlsx file into Google Sheets.
Charts or formatting look broken?
Templates are optimized for Microsoft Excel Desktop. Some advanced formatting may not render perfectly in Excel Online or Google Sheets.
