Hello,
Id like a formula in spread sheeet that can copy (capture) the value only of a cell to another.
For example -
I have a formula in Cell A that dose some manipulation on the price.
It shows a continually updating value.

Id like to have a timer that will copy that value (only the static value captured) every 60 seconds to another cell.
I had this working in Microsoft excel but have no clue as to how and do this with SC..

Thank you

It's not possible to capture a cell's dynamic value intrabar.

The solution would involve using a 1 min chart so that every new bar had the static value.
You could then overlay that to another chart using the Study/Price Overlay study.

For something like this you have to use ACSIL to interact with a Spreadsheet Sheet:
ACSIL Programming Concepts: Direct Programmatic Interaction with Spreadsheet Sheets

Therefore, it is definitely possible to do what you want.
