Hello, I have a question how to translate data from a spreadsheet into a graph (chartbook). I use the data that the spreadsheet groups, but trying to display them on a graph in the form of lines, moving averages, and other indicators does not give anything. I used the links that are given on the site SCh, why does nothing work?

Are you referring to the built-in Sierra Chart Spreadsheets or an external spreadsheet?

For an internal spreadsheet, refer to the information here:
Using the Spreadsheet Study: Step By Step Instructions to use the Spreadsheet Study

If you are referring to importing the data from an external spreadsheet, then refer to the information here:

Is there a tutorial video on how to add data from a table to a graph?

Not within our documentation. You may be able to find something online from a user of the system.

In general, you would want to use the Spreadsheet Study. Refer to the information here:

Hello I have such a question! I use the data provided by indicator the Number Bars Calculated Values 2. This data (for example, the Median Ask volume and Median Bid volume) has formed as a table data in area 2 (in the image) how Visible in Draw Style. I want the values data from table (in area 2) below to be represented as Lines (for example) in the same area 2. How do I do this?

The Numbers Bars Calculated Values 2 is always displayed as a table. There is no way to change that.

So what you need to do is use the Study Subgraph Reference and set the subgraph that you want to draw as a line, bar, etc. in the Study Subgraph to Reference Input. You can then change the draw style as wanted to draw the data as you please. Refer to the information here:
Study Subgraph Reference

Note that you will have to put the Study Subgraph Reference in a different region from the Numbers Bars Calculated Values. Refer to the following:
Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Chart Region

Also, if you do not need to look at the Numbers Bars Calculated Values as a table, then you can hide that study. Refer to the information here for hiding a study:
Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Hide Study
