Hello, This seems like it should be simple. I'm trying to get yesterday's value on study ID1 to be printed in a spreadsheet formula. What is the index syntax? I'm trying ID1.SG1@1 but this is probably not correct.

The current bar is in row 3, and previous bars are in rows below. So on a Daily chart, yesterday's value would be in row 4: =ID1.SG1@4

Thanks, Tom. I tried this but it keeps giving me a 0 value. I can put in ID1.SG1 and it provides todays value fine. Maybe I'm approaching this the wrong way (I attached a picture), I'm looking to make the ID2 study lag the ID1 study by 1 day.

You are using the Spreadsheet Formula study, which has nothing to do with spreadsheets, despite its name. The syntax is different. You this formula: =ID1.SG1[-1]

Thanks, that worked! Is there a reference available for what you suggested?
