Either a connection problem to Microsoft’s servers or a failure in Excel. Here’s some tricks from real-world experience that should restore Stock and Geography data types. The ribbon section and entire feature stops working without explanation or information, let alone help. When Excel can’t connect to Linked Data Types for whatever reason, there’s no error message or explanation. Normally if a feature isn’t available, that button or option is just greyed out, not removed completely. That’s very different from the standard Office behavior. The Queries and Sort ribbon sections get ‘pushed aside’ and Data Types appear between them.
On a slow computer you might even see Data Types appear on the Data ribbon after startup. Excel doesn’t try to connect with the data servers after the failure at startup. Even worksheets already setup with Stock or Geo links show errors instead of updating. If that initial data connection fails, Linked Data Types won’t work at all. If it can’t get a connection, then Excel won’t display anything on the Data ribbon. When Excel 365 starts, it checks with Microsoft’s servers to see what Linked Data Types are available. It’s a strange problem caused by an equally strange design decision by Microsoft. We’ve had several reports from readers who start Excel 365 and find that their Stock and Geography linked data worksheets won’t work. The Data ribbon is missing the entire ‘Data Types’ section.

When the Stock and Geography data types disappear from the Data ribbon in Excel here’s how to fix and restore Linked Data Types. The controls for modifying text in an object or text box are slightly different from the controls for changing body text.Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments. If controls for editing text or an object aren’t visible (such as menus for choosing a font or a font size, or controls for changing the color of objects), make sure the correct sidebar is open and that the text or object is selected. Click it to see hidden buttons, or drag the window wider until you see all the buttons. In this case, you see a double right arrow at the right end of the toolbar. It’s also possible that the Pages window is too narrow to show all of the buttons. Choose View > Customize Toolbar (from the menu bar at the top of your screen), then drag the missing button back to the toolbar.
If the toolbar is missing a button, it’s possible that you customized the toolbar by removing the button from it. Click your Pages document and make sure the menu bar shows Pages next to the Apple menu. If you clicked your desktop or another open window, the menu bar at the top of your screen might show menus for the Finder or another app. You may have mistakenly clicked out of Pages.
The menu bar and the toolbar have some items with the same name (for example, View, Insert, and Format), but they don’t have the same options or controls. The toolbar is at the top of your Pages document and usually has a View button, then a Zoom pop-up menu, in the left corner. The menu bar is at the very top of your screen and has the Apple menu, then the Pages menu, in the top-left corner. You may have confused the menu bar and the toolbar.
