Post From: VolumebyPrice Spreadsheet Columns output changed from V1482?

I'll study your suggestions. Without my sequence of versions/spreadsheet creations/VbP overlays, from V1450, V1454, V1481, you can't reproduce what happened. But I can show you.

In re your "We want to understand why there are 4", here's a pic of a new test spreadsheet created by V1615 source chart #20:
V1615 creates 3 cols.--what you said/ expect. Creation-not overlay, is consistent, 3 cols after V1454.


V1454 or prior created the 4-column VbP and the 15-col. (not 16) VbP
(the prior #44 spreadsheet pic cut off SG2, SC not running, trailing 11 col's had 0 - no data)

I ran a V1481 Replay to see if #44 Sheet would ever fill data into trailing 11 VbP columns (4+11=15) when running:
NO, did not,
only 4 columns had data updating in the overlay- from the source VbP 4 columns created by V1454 or prior.
Here is a better pic, 15 cols of V1450-81 target #44 overlay from source #20, SC running.

For a new sheet, V1481 creates 3 columns for VbP, like V1615 (not overlay).

The only issue is "consistent overlay prior column count fidelity" from old source study overlays with inconsistent col's.
or: How to fill 11 additional columns that were in the old spreadsheet that V1615 overlay now drops.
V1615 overlay probably keeps 4 of old 15 cols because 4 have data and trailing 11 SG6-SG16 have 0's.

Does "[reproduce] however many columns there may be in a VbP?
The answer to the question is yes"

mean you'll try to make overlays look for spreadsht columns by prior spreadsheet headings, not just by data other than 0-zeros?
Before building/changing a spreadsheet, the overlay should look to see how many headings were in the old spreadsheet,
(preserve column count with fidelity), regardless whether any data is in columns.

EDITED: Meanwhile, Trying Workarounds: I tried "Horizontal Lines" as a columns filler; Almost works.
(Your old solutions don't seem to fit).
40 lines in the sub-headings makes the spreadsheet look screwy, though.
Could you add a "Number of Lines" option? (now a set #, 40) Or a similar study with 10 lines?
LATEST:
The V1615 overlay apparently completely lost ID30 Study. Last Pic added shows it gone, other studies now out of sequence
