Hi guys
sorry I need to ask it here but I've tried and tried to find how to do this and cannot.

I want to import a simple spreadsheet / csv file from here: https://www.squeezemetrics.com/monitor/dix

I'll use the columns and data like

Date, Close
2020/05/10, 97
2020/05/11, 92
2020/05/12, 98

I then want to plot this under my charts.

Problem is when I save the file (as csv of dly etc) then open it as a chart, SC complains that the symbol isn't recognised and tries to download data for "dix" (name of the file).

I've tried to use the spreadsheet feature but that just exports data from the studies as output.
I did make a new sheet in the SC spreadsheet feature but I cannot find a way to import and plot onto a chart.

Hope someone can help

Thanks
-Matt

Try renaming the file to something you have in your data feed.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Don't really want a double installation as I want to be able to refer to the spreadsheet in my chart for alerts etc
