Connecting Excel to Live Market Data

Before we can register the highest value in Excel, we need to connect our Excel book to live market data. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as using a data feed provider or using Excel's built-in data connections. Here are the steps to connect Excel to live market data:

1. Open a new or existing Excel book.
2. Click on the "Data" tab in the Excel ribbon.
3. Click on the "From Other Sources" button in the "Get External Data" section.
4. Select "From Microsoft Query" from the dropdown menu.

6. In the "Microsoft Query" window, select the table or query you want to use and click "Close".
7. In the "Import Data" window, select the "Table" option and click "OK".

Your live market data should now be imported into Excel. You can refresh the data by clicking on the "Refresh" button in the "Data" tab.

Registering the Highest Value in Excel

Now that we have our live market data in Excel, we can start registering the highest value. We will use a formula to do this. Here is the formula you can use:
