Hi, I need to retrieve the chart bar period value in a spreadsheet formula study dynamically. I mean that, look at this example: - on image 1 you can notice that the bar period value is 20 - on my spreadsheet formula study, I need to add this value at the low of the bar. Look at Image 2 The question is: is there a way to add this value dynamically and not manually as I did in this case, putting L+2, but putting something like L + chart_bar_period Thank you. Kindly, |

The Spreadsheet Study has fields in the I/J columns for the Bar Period. Refer to the following and the 3 items below it: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Seconds Per Bar - Intraday (read-only) [J36] You would need to reference the appropriate J column entry into one of the Formula columns so you could then pick that up and display it as you want - most likely using the "Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text" from what you state. But also refer to the "Text Display for Study" study: Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text Text Display For Study For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

It can't be done with the Spreadsheet Formula study.(Despite its name, it's not a spreadsheet study.) Use the Spreadsheet Study study: Cell J39 returns the range of range bars, in ticks. To get it to a subgraph where it can be used in calculations, or to display it, use a formula like this in a Formula Column, e.g., K3 (Column K is SG1): =$J$39 If you want to convert it to points: =$J$39*$J$21 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-03-25 01:06:56
