I need a straightforward way to pull both real-time and historical stock prices directly into Microsoft Excel. A lightweight solution is fine—just the essentials that let me: • enter one or more ticker symbols • click (or auto-refresh) to receive up-to-the-second quotes plus past closing data • store the returned values in ordinary worksheet cells for easy charting and analysis I’m open to any reliable API—free tiers such as Alpha Vantage, IEX Cloud, or Yahoo Finance are okay, as long as the key setup steps are included. A simple VBA script, Power Query setup, or worksheet function add-in all work for me; pick whichever gets the job running quickly. Deliverables: 1. An Excel file pre-wired to fetch real-time and historical data. 2. A short setup note showing how to replace the API key or change tickers. The project is urgent, so please provide a working draft I can test right away and finalize any tweaks promptly after my feedback.
