Important Notes

Do not request the MSN Money website frequently. Otherwise, your IP can be banned by the MSN Money website.

Historical data for one ticker symbol is downloaded by one request to a web service. This feature significantly reduces the amount of requests to the MSN Money website.

The amount of data depends on the entire data period that is calculated for all stocks in opened workbooks.
