Check whether your spreadsheet can run Tickerdata before you subscribe.

Where Tickerdata runs

Tickerdata is an add-in for your spreadsheet, so it can only run where your spreadsheet allows add-ins to define custom functions. That means a computer in both cases: neither the Google Sheets apps nor the Excel apps for tablets and phones can run one. On the desktop, Google Sheets works in any modern browser, and Excel works on Microsoft 365 and on the web but not in the perpetual-licence editions.

Where Tickerdata runs, and what each spreadsheet requires
Where you use it Tickerdata What you need
Google Sheets
Sheets in a desktop browser Supported Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge
Sheets on iPad, iPhone, or Android Not supported Add-ons do not run in the mobile apps
Microsoft Excel
Excel on the web Supported Any modern browser
Excel for Windows Supported Microsoft 365, version 1903 or later
Excel for Mac Supported Microsoft 365, version 16.34 or later
Excel for iPad and mobile Not supported Custom functions do not run there
Volume-licensed perpetual Office (2021 and earlier) Not supported Cannot run the add-in

Checking your version of Excel

In Excel, go to File → Account. The right-hand panel shows the product name and, under About Excel, the version number.

  • Product name — it must say Microsoft 365. If it says Office Home & Student 2021, Office Professional 2019, or similar, that is a perpetual licence and add-ins like Tickerdata cannot run in it.
  • Version — Windows needs 1903 or newer, Mac needs 16.34 or newer. Any Microsoft 365 install that has updated in the last few years is well past both.

Tip

No Microsoft 365 subscription? Excel on the web is free with a Microsoft account and runs Tickerdata in full.

Why tablets and phones are missing

Neither spreadsheet runs add-in custom functions on a mobile device — there is no setting to turn on. The Google Sheets apps for iPad, iPhone, and Android do not load add-ons at all, and Excel for iPad and mobile does not run custom functions.

A spreadsheet built with Tickerdata still opens on those devices and shows the values that were last saved. The formulas simply will not recalculate until you open the file on a computer.
