If using the AND() function for chart alerts - I see that nesting and AND() withing another AND() is not working. For instance - I was using - =AND(ID2.SG1>0,AND(id5.sg1<id5.sg4,C<ID17.SG1)) and clearly it gives effect to the first 2 expressions but not to the last one when firing alerts - e.g. C<ID17.SG1 condition is not fulfilled while firing that alert - qs - 1. is nesting allowed in such cases? 2. is there a work around? 3. am I using the above condition rightly in the first place? |

1, 2. This is allowed but unnecessary in this way. You should use a single AND function and separate all of the expressions with commas. If you refer to the Spreadsheet Functions page it explains this: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SpreadsheetFunctions.html 3. We do not know. This is something you need to determine. From our perspective as long as you do not get an error from the formula, then it is correct. However, whether it does what you need, we do not know.

So, on this one - looks like AND function does not accommodate more than 2 arguments within it and neither does it give effect to Nested AND functions use (ones like - AND(.....AND()) 1. Can you confirm is above is true? You said earlier on - it is allowed but does not work realy. 2. If not possible, do you have any work around to propose? |

looks like AND function does not accommodate more than 2 arguments How do you come to this conclusion? Did you refer to the documentation for it here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SpreadsheetFunctions.html 1. No, that is not true. 2. This is not relevant because the function does what you require. You can verify this by using this formula: =AND(true,true,true,true) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
