CapIQ Add-In Data Error When File Opens

Hey all -

I’ve been using the CapIQ Excel plugin ( =@ciq() ) to pull historical and estimate data for a preliminary comps analysis, but when I open the file it automatically refreshes the data. When I’m not on the internet or I have an issue logging in, it gives errors.

Is there any setting to have CIQ leave the data and only refresh it when I hit a key (like F9 for data tables)? Could I use an IFERROR() and reference its own cell? What do you do to avoid this?
